I worked at Aardvark Sports Shop in Stroudsburg from its opening and over the years got to know the walkers and runners in the community. We offered our women's beginner programs, training runs for the Run for the Red Marathon, and in-store knowledge about running shoes, apparel, and accessories. When word came that Aardvark was closing their Stroudsburg site, I knew I had to do something.
Forward Motion is a 10-week program open to all women 16 years of age or order from walkers, to new runners, to experienced runners. Whatever your level is, there will be a group to keep you motivated and keep you in "forward motion!" The goal is for participants to be able to complete a 5k or improve their overall 5k time.
Half Marathon training programs are offered at various times throughout the year. This is an 8 week program that will train you to complete a specific half marathon. We offer group training runs twice a week. The weekday run is a shorter distance and we do a hill or speed workout together. The weekend run is a longer run to build endurance.
Here at Ready Set Run we like to socialize and have fun! Throughout the year we plan events that center around having fun. All events are open to walkers and runners. We may start the walkers a little earlier to make sure they have enough time to finish the activity. Please check back and follow us on Facebook to get specific dates and details as the event date approaches.
It's back for the fifth year! This challenge was designed for anyone and everyone with a goal of keeping you moving during the winter season. If you're ready to participate in this fun initiative, download the application then stop into the store or mail it to Ready Set Run, 431 Main Street, Stroudsburg, PA 18360.

A friend had told me about what a great experience she had had with her son and daughter looking for running/hiking shoes about a week ago. I am a avid hiking and have feet problems. I thought a new pair of hiking shoes may be in order so I headed to this place this morning. Trish, the owner, was so thoughtful and caring and helpful and patient. I ended up with a fantastic pair of new hiking shoes thatcI already live.

Trish is awesome. This was my first time visiting for new shoes and she listened to all of my needs when it comes to running. She asked me several questions and took a look at my foot shape and came back with a few pairs for me to try out. This was the best running shoe buying experience I've ever had and I will recommend Ready Set Run every time.

I had the most wonderful experience today getting fitted for running shoes. The owner was absolutely amazing and took the time to really make sure I was super comfortable. O love small settings where you can really build a relationship with people who really want to help you. Thank you so much for listening, caring and fitting me for shoes. Can't wait to run again after having kids.

Wow! We stopped in to Ready, Set, Run just to see what inventory they had and were blown away by Trish's personalized service. She multi-tasked our shoe fitting needs with those of another customer and suggested a Brooks size 14 2E shoe for the 14yo. She didn't have these stock so she ordered the shoes for us and had them mailed to our home in Virginia. Outstanding service! If you live near Stroudsburg you are very fortunate to have Trish looking out for your sports shoe needs. If you are passing through like we were, stop in and give her your support. Well done and many thanks!

What a great shop! It had been a long time since I got the personal level of attention I received here. The store employee listened to me -- what I was looking for, the way in which my former shoes hurt, etc. He also watched me walk to examine my gait and find the best shoe for me. The shoes I ended up with were 10x more comfortable than any shoe I've had in a long time. Highly recommended.

This place is amazing. The owner took a look at my old shoes and could tell exactly what some of my running issues were. I’m new to running and she was patient and explained the differences between each pair of shoes I tried on. She checked each shoe and then let me jog with them for a block to see how they felt. I HATE shopping and this was a completely lovely experience. I’m overweight and new to jogging and she was just so supportive. She even demonstrated how to properly roll out even though I had already bought a roller at another store. This place is amazing. I will never get running

My daughter bought her shoes here throughout her years of running track and cross country in high school. She has always been fitted properly, her old shoes examined to determine how her foot and running style wears on the shoe, and her running form observed. Recently Trish (sp?) recommended a different style shoe for my daughter as her distance running increases. My daughter ran in the new shoes the very next day, and loves them. Thank you!

Walked in with a sore ankle and mediocre running shoes, walked out with a very comfortable and supportive pair of running shoes.
The woman that helped me pick new shoes listened to what was bothering me and had me try on several pairs and go for a short run in them. She was able to tell me what to expect from each shoe, and found me a pair that I really liked the fit and feel of. It was a very pleasant and non-rushed experience. I had four children with me, and she was very polite to them as well, and answered their questions.
Good selection, fair pricing, friendly and knowledgeable staff.

I highly recommend Ready Set Run. Trish spent plenty of time putting me in the right running shoe. I never felt rushed and while this was my first time shopping there, I felt treated like a lifelong customer.
You can’t have a better shoe shopping experience anywhere else - and you’re supporting a great small business.
PS - these shoes are perfect and I will be back!!
