ABOUT US

WE HAVE THREE PROMISES

1. Professional People.
This store isn't about shoes, it's about people. We're here for you - no matter what your background, experience, or goals. You're our boss and this is your store. We believe that the right people in the right places will give you a fantastic shopping experience in the store and keep a smile on your face as you literally run out the door!

2. Personalized Gait Analysis.
Being in the right equipment matters. It helps you enjoy your running and prevents injury to keep you running. Our personalized fitting process and state of the art video gait analysis helps us guide you to what products will help your natural running stride. No appointment necessary, available anytime we're open!

3. Premium Products.
We only carry the good stuff. Our footwear, apparel, and gear will get you through every season the upper-Midwest will throw at you and then some.

ABOUT THE OWNERS

Hello from our family to you and yours! We are the Adam and Alicia Condit! We met running cross country at track in 2001 at the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire. 16 years later, we moved back to Wisconsin to have Blue Ox Running be an extension of our family into the wonderful community of the Chippewa Valley. There are long lasting Condit family roots around the Chippewa Valley and our story together began running cross country and track at the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire.

After 10+ years away from Wisconsin, many jobs (engineer, teacher, stay at home mom, HR), and three kids, we followed our calling back and feel blessed to return to our home state to enjoy this beautiful community. We've been trained by and gained experience from the best specialty running store owners in the business including Potomac River Running (Washington DC), The Runners Flat (Cedar Falls, IA), Iowa Running Company (Cedar Rapids, IA), and Grand Bluff Running (La Crosse, WI).

Adam is a certified USATF coach, loves training as the sun comes up, and has raced as a post-collegiate athlete in 5k (14:55), 10k (30:55), marathon (2:27:20), 50 miles (6:05:xx), and 100 miles (Western States & Burning River 100). Alicia has much retail & operations experience and has always kept running in her life competing in half marathons, qualifying for the Boston Marathon, and as an active mother of three while preferring to sleep in :)
