Matix Hinzmann
Super Helper
Matix is a part time employee, part time runner, and Team Captain of the North Bend Cross Country team. Matix is always willing to lend a helping hand and will do anything required to make you feel welcome and comfortable.
In Matix’s off season he does Track and Field, but more of the Track part. While he may think running is fun, he thinks that sleeping and eating is often more enjoyable and will always be down for a bite to eat, even while running.
Amarissa Wooden
Owner
Amarissa genuinely enjoys spending time with people. You will often hear her say she retired from healthcare after 20 years to tie shoes for a living. She loves every minute of it.
Amarissa has lived in Southern Oregon all her life. Although she ran track in high school, she became a "runner" in adulthood.
When she is not at the shop, you will find her balancing her time directing races for the South Coast Running Club, coaching high school cross country, volunteering around the community, and training for her own running events.
THE WINE WALK
CREW
This is a top-notch, high energy, fun-loving group of friends who love to support the local running community and pour wine during the Wine Walk.
