BLUE RIBBON SPORTS
APRIL 27, 2024 - 8:00 AM
In late 1967, the first employee opened the first retail store, Blue Ribbon Sports. Blue Ribbon Sports was a crazy dream, born out of a need to serve the athlete. It stood as a brand; by runners, for runners. The people who worked there were genuine, authentic and focused (relentlessly) on making runners faster; giving them every competitive advantage. It was all about relationships. It wasn't just a store. BRS was the place that made you better, but not just as it pertained to performance. It was about the culture. Never was there a place that celebrated sport like BRS. 56 years later, they are returning to the same location and reconfirming their commitment to the running community.
Lace up your shoes and mark your calendars! Join us on April 27, 2024, at 8 AM at Blue Ribbon Sports for a fun meet-up. We'll be running or walking 3 to 9 miles, followed by some delicious refreshments provided by Blue Ribbon Sports, 3107 Pico Blvd., Santa Monica, CA. More details to follow.
