Michele and Mitch Allen love running and each other (not necessarily in that order). The two met on the running trails in Dallas and got married in 2003, surrounded by their running friends. In 2009 they moved to San Antonio where they opened iRun Texas at the Stone Oak location.
Each having some 40 years of running experience, they shared that knowledge and passion with their customers, while providing a place for runners to connect. When people came to iRun to shop their expansive line of running shoes and apparel, customers found much more: encouragement to improve their health and fitness, quality training programs to reach their goals, and scheduled group runs among new friends.
There was a lot of love for just one store, so Michele and Mitch made room for more runners in their lives: They opened a second iRun location at Bitters/1604 in 2012 and a third store in the Dominion area in 2015.
Chapter Two:
A change in ownership marks an exciting new chapter in iRun Texas’s journey towards delivering top-notch running gear and exceptional customer service to the community. Garrett Sage, a passionate runner and entrepreneur, joins iRun Texas with 9 years of run specialty experience, previously leading all company-owned (non-franchised) Fleet Feet locations across the country. Garrett grew up with a father who spent his early mornings marathon training. He attended the University of North Texas where he specialized in the 5k, steeplechase, and cross county. He, along with his wife Lauren, daughter Ruby, and pup Ria, are excited to call San Antonio home. Lauren works in and is passionate about the historic preservation of San Antonio's storied past. Over the past 8 years they have fallen in love with the city's unique culture and local running community. The fall of 2023 brings an exciting change to iRun, but just as much heart to the community we serve.
