Accelerate was conceived from a desire to find one running store where we could shop for everything running. We wanted the best service, knowledge and a friendly knowledgeable approach to our sport. No one seemed to want to put it all together. So that's where the idea of Accelerate cam from. Accelerate began by visiting events with their retail event store and with a website. Eventually the Sheffield store opened it's doors in February 2009.
Accelerate is actively involved in the local running scene and in 2009 began the Gritstone Series, a number of established fell races, bringing them together as one series. Janet McIver continues to be supported.
The store grows by recommendation and draws runners from far and wide. We continue to looks at ways of offering more and we have teamed up with Holywell Active Health. Bio-mechanic assessment, soft tissue therapy treatment and podiatry are now available at Accelerate.
