Gig Harbor Undressed

Gig Harbor welcomes new running and walking store

There’s no question that Gig Harbor is a great place for runners, joggers, and walkers.  Especially on days like today (it hit 76 degrees on our thermometer today!).  Sunny days like today, the Gig Harbor waterfront is crawling with folks out for a walk.  There are numerous places to run as well for those who like to pick up the pace a bit.

Until recently, there wasn’t a place in Gig Harbor for the fitness folks to outfit themselves.  That has now changed.  Route 16 Running and Walking has recently opened on Kimball Drive.  If you are looking for running shoes, rain gear, or warm weather running clothes, Route 16 has you covered.  Even those looking for racing spikes for their track and field season can find an assortment of racing shoes here.

Perhaps the greatest service Route 16 will provide is the resource for runners and walkers.  Many folks visiting Gig Harbor may be looking for a running group.  Route 16 can help.  Or maybe you want to know the best places to walk.  Route 16 can help.  Have aches and pains from running and need a doctor referral?  Route 16 can help. 

Whether you’re a high school track star looking for track spikes, a weekend warrior looking for new running shoes, or a casual walker looking for a new walking outfit, check out Route 16 and see what they have in store.  Look for Route 16 to be sponsoring local running races in Gig Harbor as well.  This is a fitness based community, and Route 16 will fill a need for many of our residents and visitors.
