Another year, another Herzog Cup!
This past weekend, the Runner's Roost Roosters raced to an impressive victory at the Run 716 Relay, earning both the 1st Overall Relay Team title and bringing home the Herzog Cup for another year. It was an incredible performance by a team made up of the very people you'll find helping runners every day inside our stores.
At Runner's Roost, running isn't just something we sell. It's what we do.
Our staff spends countless hours training, racing, and pursuing their own running goals throughout the year. Whether they're lining up for local 5Ks, tackling marathons, or competing in relay events like Run 716, they're gaining firsthand experience that helps them better serve every runner who walks through our doors.
That experience matters. When you're looking for the right shoe, preparing for your first race, training for a new distance, or trying to recover after a hard workout, you're getting advice from people who have been there themselves. Our team understands the challenges, excitement, and dedication that come with running because they're living it right alongside our community.
The Run 716 Relay is another reminder of what makes Western New York's running community so special. Friendly competition, teamwork, and celebrating each other's accomplishments are at the heart of every race, and we're proud to be part of it.
With one exciting race in the books, we're already looking ahead to the next.
Sign Up For The Summer Send-Off 8k
On Thursday, August 20, we're thrilled to host the inaugural Summer Send-Off 8K in Orchard Park. As our newest race, the Summer Send-Off is designed to give runners another chance to challenge themselves before summer comes to a close. Whether you're looking to race a certified 8K for the first time, set a personal best, or simply enjoy an evening with the local running community, this event is for you.
The fun doesn't stop at the finish line. Runners can stick around for live music from Coming In Hot, enjoy bottomless post-race beer or wine, and celebrate another great night of running with friends old and new.
Seeing our Roosters compete and win at events like the Run 716 Relay reminds us why we love this community, and we can't wait to create another memorable race experience with the very first Summer Send-Off 8K.
Congratulations again to our Runner's Roost Roosters on an outstanding performance. We hope to see you on the starting line on August 20!
