 (Muskegon, MI.)  Thinking of participating in your first Ultra Marathon, Ironman, Adventure race, Marathon, 5k, or anything in between? Are you an experienced competitor just looking for an edge? Endurance Sports is a new outdoor specialty retail store aiming to help West Michigan's endurance athletes achieve their goals. Located at the Ray and Sharon Flowers building at 1888 Holton Rd. "Endurance Sports will soon be West Michigan's number one source for athletic gear and service," said Matt Vander Sys.

 "Endurance Sports runs away from the rest of the pack with their service and knowledge of all products sold in the store," said Matt. All staff at Endurance Sports has extensive knowledge of athletic shoes, and understands that not all feet are created equal, nor are shoes created equal. Endurance Sports knows a poor fitting running shoe can lead to feet and leg pains that can keep you from the sport you enjoy. Almost equally important to feeling good is looking good, Endurance Sports carries brand names like, Alf Wear, Acorn, Superfeet, Deuter, Jansport, Polarmax, Defeet, Nalgene, PowerBar, New Balance, Mizuno, Montrail, Saucony, Teva, Injinji, Sport Hill just to name a few.

 Matt along with his wife Roxanne Vander Sys are the owners. Matt is an experienced athlete in endurance events. Matt has competed in events like, The Wisconsin Ironman, Boston Marathon, Superior Trail 100 mile, Michigan Bush Bash 36 Hour Adventure Race, just to name a very few. "I have tried many different products and training programs. I know what works and what falls short," said Matt. Having competed in as many events as Matt, he is willing to share his expertise with any athlete trying to figure out the best program for him or her. Roxanne is well versed in the sport of running tackling one of West Michigan's toughest races, The Fifth Third River Bank Run, and several other local running events.

 Endurance Sport's goal is wellness through the out of doors. With unparalled service, Endurance Sports wants to help every one reach their wellness goals. So look for Endurance Sports at area events. Look for Jim Dreyer (marathon swimmer), Bob Johnson (desert ultra runner), Jim Smith (completed several ultra runs) to stop in and share their stories and training tips.
