Hi, I’m John Dewey and I have been the owner of Off ‘N Running since 2003. In addition to working at the shop, I’m a physical therapist, and a certified athletic trainer, a certified strength and conditioning specialist. I was a collegiate athlete in tennis & swimming, and I have been a triathlete since 1996. I am also a proud husband to my wife Liz, and father to my three children: Matthew, Alexandria, and Brandon. One of my goals at Off ‘N Running is to provide each customer with excellent care and service, therefore, I make sure to train each one of my employees with the knowledge and expertise I’ve gathered throughout the years. You can expect the best from Off 'N Running! Read below to get to know my employees

• Favorite Shoe: Asics Cumulus
• Running Bio: I started running in 7th grade (1991) when all my friends were going out for the team. I found out then that I really enjoyed running and I was pretty good at the distance events. I ran for Science Hill High School in Johnson City, TN and then ran for East Tennessee State University. After college I started doing triathlons and really enjoyed them, but find it hard to train all three disciplines. I have run four marathons with a PR of 3:09. I received my Masters Degree from High Point University in Sports Studies. I help coach cross country and track at Greensboro Day School. I have worked at the store since January 2007.

• Favorite Race: Any cross country race and the Boston Marathon
• Favorite Running Moment: There are several - winning the Team State Championship in high school, placing 25th in my senior year at the NCAA Regional CC meet (top 25 make All-American), running the Boston Marathon.

• Favorite Shoe: Brooks Cascadia & Mizuno Precision
• Running Bio: I started running track my freshman year of high school because hockey wasn't a school sport.  I then found I really enjoyed the freedom of the trails.  Running took me to Pfeiffer University my freshman year of college where I ran cross country. I then transferred to UNCW and joined the triathlon team.  You can now find me on the trails mountain biking or leading our trail group runs.
• Favorite Post Race Food: the two B's burritos and beer.
• Favorite Race: Uwharrie Mountain Run 40 Miler and the Shut-in Ridge Run in the mountains of Western NC.
• Favorite Running Moment: Any time I can feel free out on the trails with my dog Bella who is my constant running companion.

• Favorite Shoe: Mizuno Elixir & Saucony Kinvara
• Running Bio: I won the first race I ever entered in 4th grade (a cross-country mile) and was hooked.  I started running competitively as a freshman at Bethel High School in Bethel, CT and continued at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, PA.  I’ve enjoyed running a lot farther …and with less track intervals! ...since then.  I have run 3 marathons with a 3:06 PR.  I also enjoy cycling, backpacking, and lifting, although running is my true love!  Thoughts of an ultra linger.
• Favorite Post-Race Food: Cheeseburger or burrito!  Although, really anything, as long as it has cheese.  And wine.
• Favorite Race: Monument Avenue 10k
• Favorite Running Moment: all of them!  duh!  ...and the adrenaline rush of the final .2 of my first marathon.

• Favorite Shoe: Asics Cumulus
• Running Bio: I started running in 8th grade, because I got cut from the Baseball team where the coach only wanted to keep me on as a base runner and I figured if all I was going to do is run, might as well do Track. I run because I enjoy being able to say that I ran more miles in a week than I drove in my car in a month. I also keep in mind that I run for others who wish they could run themselves and can't.
• Favorite Post Race Food: Graham crackers with peanut butter and chocolate milk
• Favorite Race: Cross country 8ks, and the 3k, 5k, & 10k during track season

• Brief Running Bio:  I played field hockey through high school and college and when I graduated college there weren't many opportunities for me to play anymore.  So I started running to stay in shape just in case an opportunity arose.  Then I just kept running!  Running road races is also how I met my boyfriend and it is something we like to do together.
