Run With Us

Run With Us Run With Us was opened on February 1st 2000 by owners Peter and Maria Van Gansen. What kind of mileage are you doing? What are your goals?
Despite the incredibly active and health conscious community, as well as the presence of the beautiful Rose Bowl where thousands of runners and walkers can be found exercising daily, Pasadena did not have a store that specialized in running. Run With Us sought to fill that void, and from the start got involved with all the local organizations, high schools, doctors and running clubs, firmly rooting itself in the welcoming community. At first, the store was run solely by Peter and his wife Maria, who worked tirelessly to maintain their high standards in customer service as the store grew busier. Soon, though, Run With Us became so successful that more and more help was required; now it boasts one of the largest and most experienced staff in the industry, with over 110 years of combined experience, as well as the head Track and Field and Cross Country coach from Pasadena City College, the head Track and Field coach from South Pasadena High School and many other seasoned runners. Run With Us has always believed that it is essential to have runners helping runners—the staff has first hand experience with running injuries, training programs for everything from high school cross country to marathon racing, and most importantly, they know shoes! As you walk in the store you will be asked a few questions: What kind of injuries have you had? After that they will do a gait analysis and a balance test in order to help you find the perfect shoes for your foot type and for your particular activity, backing it all up with a 10 day guarantee. Run With Us has been named "best running store" in Southern California by "Los Angeles" magazine and "LA Sports & Fitness" magazine, and thanks to all its loyal customers and amazing community support, continues to be Pasadena’s premier running specialty store.

Angeles Crest 100 | The House of Champions
AC 100 holds a special place with us and long before the finish line, there’s a starting line. For so many runners who have taken on the Angeles Crest 100, that journey has included Run With Us.
We’re proud to celebrate the past and present Run With Us runners who have earned Top 5 finishes and those who have stood on the top step as AC100 champions 🏆
These aren’t just names on a results page. They’re runners who have trained, struggled, persevered, supported one another, and represented our running community on some of the toughest trails in Southern California.
That’s what makes Run With Us so special.
A local running store.
A home for runners.
A community of champions.
This year, Run With Us will be out on the course supporting AC100, with our Monday Run Club members, Race Team, and community coming together to volunteer and help support the runners and aid stations. We’re proud to give back to the race and the community that has given so much to us.
And if AC100 has you thinking about your next road or trail race, come see us! Whether you need shoes, socks, hydration, nutrition, apparel, recovery gear, or those last-minute race-day essentials, we’ve got you covered.
When you shop at Run With Us, you’re not just buying from a store.
Every time you choose to shop small, you help a local business continue to support runners, run clubs, races, and the community we all love.
