👀Did you know you could donate your old running shoes at the Ragged Mountain Running & Walking Shop to a local good cause and receive a 10% discount on a pair of new shoes? 🙌❤️

This month’s recipient of our shoe recycling program is the Virginia Down Syndrome Association, a wonderful local organization doing meaningful work in our community. Through our recycling program each pair donated equates to $2 back to our designated monthly cause (over $7000 was donated last year)…Plus, when you bring us your current pair it will not only end up on the feet of someone in need but you’ll receive a 10% discount on your new pair. That’s what we call a Triple Win!
