Track & Field Spikes are in Stock!
Aardvark is proud to have a large selection of track spikes in stock from brands such as Asics, Nike, Saucony and Brooks (Brooks available at Bethlehem store only). Because availability of track spikes gets worse as the season goes on, we recommend that athletes come in as soon as they know which events they will take part in.
Support Your Local Running Club!
For many years, the Lehigh Valley has been blessed with an active and strong running organization, the Lehigh Valley Road Runners. They have organized, supported, or officiated countless races over the past few decades in support of the running community. In addition to their involvement in Lehigh Valley road racing, they also have supported the growth of running with the Kid's Series races in the Summer, their support of the First Strides workshops and much more.
Now the Poconos has a running club, PARC (Pocono Area Running Club), which is committed to bringing the same kind of energy and enthusiasm for the running community in that area.
If you are looking for a way to contribute to your local running community (meet other runners, volunteer at a race, etc.) you should consider joining one of these fine organizations. For more information, check out Lehigh Valley Road Runners or Pocono Area Running Club.

Choose nutrient dense foods most of the time. Nutrient dense foods contain lots of vitamins, minerals, and other important nutrients, but not a lot of calories. For example, to get the same amount of calcium in a glass of skim milk (85 calories), you would have to eat 1-1/2 cupsof ice cream (400 calories). One orange and one small chocolate chip cookie have about the same amount of calories, but the orange contains vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber. Fruits and vegetables are very nutrient dense. (Notice I said most of the time, I wouldn't want to give up ice cream or cookies!)
