“Cathy was very helpful getting our daughter her first pair of running shoes. This was not an easy task and she showed her experience and patience through the process! Thank you very much!.”

R B

“Great experience looking for new running shoes. I'm an avid runner and know what my body needs. I described my needs and preferences to Chris and he offered a variety suggestions. I walked away with Brooks, a brand I've never ran in, but instantly felt right in. I'm looking forward to the new shoes and getting out there again! #shoplocal.”

Josh SpikerRunner Dude

Mile 26 Running Co was founded in 2015 by Josh Spiker. Josh was born and raised in Ventura and started running when he was six years old with the Ventura Tigres Youth Track & Field Club. He went on to Ventura High School where he was a State Champion and was a high school All American. After graduating from Ventura he went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Badgers) where was an All-American in both cross country and track. After 25 years of competing Josh now runs for fun.

Jen is the head of Graphic and Store Design for both Mile 26 and with our race directing business Race Fox Events. She wears a lot of different hats and is also a fine art painter and art teacher for kids and adults in Ventura. Jen has been running since college, but didn't find the passion for racing until she met Josh in 2009. Since then she has finished several Half Marathons, 2 Full Marathons, 1 Full IronMan and several Half IronMan races (by far her favorite distance event).
