Bog Dog Running is a family-run business providing gear to runners and sporting-enthusiasts across Rutland and Stamford, from beginners to pros. 

This January, the team are welcoming 2024 with a huge sale on trail shoes - helping get runners new and old back on track following the festive break. Enjoy 15% off and more goodies in store.

Run by Laura Bailey, Bog Dog Running Gear is a hidden gem located just off Ryhall Road, stocking a huge range of sporting equipment including clothing, bats and rackets, balls and bibs, and - of course - running gear.

The shop was set up 2 years ago by Laura, who has been working for herself since she was only 18. 

Bog Dog owner, Laura, said: "I have been working for myself since I was 18 and have always been passionate about working in an environment that I had a real zest for – something I like to do in my spare time," she laughed, "or my not-very-much spare time!"

All of this experience has helped Laura develop the best range possible for her established clients and new runners heading to the shop for support, as many take up running as a New Year's Resolution.

Laura wants to help you stick with this year's resolution by kitting you out the right way - and is supporting her clients by hosting a huge January sale.

Laura said: "Running offers so much mental freedom, a great challenge, helps me get the dogs out, and has allowed me to befriend some lovely people – runners on the whole tend to be very open people who like to get you involved in their running world. It is a pleasure to supply kit to people who are vivacious and are as passionate about their gear as I am."

When Laura isn't busy running the store, she can be found out and about in the local area training for local and national running events.

One of these running events is The Grim Reaper Ultra Marathon; a multi distance event in the stunning Grimsthorpe Estate. Laura organised the event last year, which went off with a bang - and is a great event to set your sights on as you get back to training in 2024.

Competitors have the option of running four solo distances - 10, 40, 70 or 100 miles, with a 40 mile and 100 mile team option available too.

In the meantime, you can find Laura at Bog Dog in Gwash Way, where she provides support to those looking to get into running, experienced athletes, and fellow trail runners. 

The store stocks major brands, from Arion, Saucony, Hoka, Montane, Maurten and more. 

Laura said: "I am passionate about running, and providing runners with the best gear for their personal needs.

"I think running keeps people sane! Had a bad day? Go for a run. Had a good day? Go for a run. Whether you are new to the sport, or more experienced than us, we can help you out."
