TerraLoco

Locally owned & operated by women who care, TerraLoco is not just a shoe store, it’s a welcoming & inclusive, no-judgement community! Providing video gait analysis for runners, expert service & advice, classes/workshops, group runs, and a wide range of footwear & apparel for all activities, TerraLoco is your one stop shop for starting or continuing your health and wellness journey!

TerraLoco is the only store in our area to provide video gait analysis for runners. Hop on our treadmill for about a minute and we’ll figure out what support category you need for an injury-free run. Our staff are experts as analyzing your gait, foot shape, arch and more, and can quickly eliminate or recommend the best shoe for you. Plus, with our 30 day guarantee, you won’t be stuck with a shoe you don’t like! (Don’t worry, non-runners will also enjoy expert analysis!)

Get active & give back at the same time! Almost every Monday at 6PM, March through October, we host $5 5K for a different local charity. Simply arrive 10-15 minutes early to pay & register. To learn which charity we are hosting each week, see our Facebook events page.  All ages & abilities are welcome to attend. Walk, jog, stroll, run, or bike – however you choose to move forward is up to you! Well-behaved, leashed, and vaccinated pets are also welcome to join.

TNT is Terraloco’s training and accountability group.  Perfect for beginners, or those who just need a little more encouragement, our coaches will lead you through a group workout every week.  Coaches also provide customizable at-home workouts, support, and encouragement along the way. A weekly motivational email, technical shirt, and store discount is included in your registration.  Plus, get entered into our prize drawing for attending multiple weeks in a row! TNT meets Thursdays starting March 28th at 6 PM at TerraLoco.  We will meet at different locations including Kellogg Middle School, Quarry Hill and more.   We will be sure to update you with a schedule.  This year, save more by signing up for our season pass for just $100.  Attend every week through October!  For those that travel, are looking for flexibility, or are looking for a supplement to a workout plan, we are also offering an 8-punch pass this year for $40.  Choose the eight sessions you want to attend!
Contact Coach Jessie for more information (TNT@runterraloco.com)

Need a little more of a challenge? Join our Middle Distance Group, April through the first part of October! This group meets Wednesdays at 6:30 PM for hill workouts, track workouts, or tempo runs. FREE to join, this group will meet off-site every third week. See store for more information or join our Facebook group!

At least once a month, TerraLoco offers classes or hands-on workshops on a variety of topics. Events include injury prevention, Rollga 101, Self Defense for Runners and more. Each class will be facilitated by an expert in the field. Follow our Facebook events page or check out our Events Calendar for details. This year, we are providing a trail running plan leading up to the Ragnar Relay Trail from St Paul to Duluth on August 16th and 17th.  You can also sign-up for our all-inclusive TerraLoco team, where you’ll receive all your accommodations including glamping and transportation for a discounted rate…minus the hassle!
