Voted #1 but Who are we? Why do you need to know who we are?

You don’t! But, now that you are this far into our write up you may as well keep going.

Thank you

to all our clients for voting us best “Beauty Spa” for the 17th year! As a thank you we would like to offer you our 60min Relaxation Massage at our Members rate of $79.

1 per customer, expires July 31st Valid May 1st - 31st, 2016 Some restrictions may apply See in store for details

We are Steve Nobbs and Kevin Ridley of the Runinn Delta. Twenty five years ago we started our first store in Kerrisdale in Vancouver because we were tired of working for a chain store and we wanted to work in the specialty run business. What does that mean? It means that we wanted to help people live better lives through running and fitness, two things that we were passionate about and what we wanted to do every day.

From the day we opened Kerrisdale to the day we opened our Tsawwassen store 15 years ago our motto has always been the same. Give great service, with great product knowledge and give back to our community whenever we can. We think we have done a pretty good job and we’re not shy about saying so. Next time you are looking for some athletic footwear, apparel or just some help starting a running program, come by and give us a chance to help you first.

We know you won’t be disappointed.
