It’s with great sadness that, after 6 incredible years, we’ve had to close the doors of Made to Run.
Opening just a year before the pandemic, we’ve faced our share of challenges. But through it all, we’re thankful to have been part of the amazing running community here in St. Helens and across the North West.
However, with rising costs and the evolving running industry shifting focus towards fashion over speciality running, things have become more challenging. And, as life moves forward, so have our priorities. With a my young family and my mum eager for more time with her grandchildren, we’ve realised now is the right time to move on.
We are incredibly proud of what we’ve built, but most of all, we are grateful. Grateful to have helped so many of you on your running journeys, to have heard your stories of success, and to have shared in the joy that running brings—a joy that we’ve both loved and lived for all our lives.
This isn’t goodbye entirely. Matt’s coaching services remain available, so if you’re training for a spring marathon, half marathon, or any other distance, feel free to reach out. He’d love to help you achieve your goals.
Thank you to everyone who visited and shopped with us over the last six years. Thanks for your support, the memories, and for being part of the Made to Run family.
If wanting advice on running training or shoes, then feel free to drop Matt a message.
This is a community we were part of long before opening Made to Run, and will continue to be a part of now that it has gone.
Made to Run - For Runners, By Runners.
