Running shoes have logos that evoke the idea of speed, such as a swoosh, a cheetah driving a go-kart, or a child growing up. Be the fastest human you know with today's Groupon: for $25, you get $50 worth of running shoes and accessories at The Runners' Den in Port Moody. This Groupon may be applied toward runners' clinics.

The fleet-footed staff at The Runners' Den outfit women’s, men’s, and kids’ feet for fitness and fashion. Paws brawn up comfortably in running, walking, trail, and other styles from brands such as Nike, New Balance, and ASICS. Sheathe hardworking pumpers in circulation-boosting Balega compression socks ($39.99) or Sugoi compression leg sleeves ($49.99), or serenade them with a Nike + iPod sensor and receiver kit ($39.99). Above the waist, the Nathan trail-mix water pack complements well-ventilated layering pieces such as the Nike Miler short-sleeve top (both $44.99), which enhances most running-related tasks, such as escaping a bear attack.
