Locally Owned, Locally Minded
Marin Running Company is locally-owned and operated by Charles Yoakum, who grew up in Marin, ran track for Drake High School, and knows Mt. Tam’s trails like the back of his feet. An avid runner and exercise enthusiast, Charles is a track-and-field fan and has read nearly every book on how to train optimally. He’s interviewed regularly by running magazines and writes a blog on tips and trends in the running world. Charles was also on Sac State’s crew team, bicycled competitively in college, finished several triathlons, and has run multiple marathons—including the San Francisco (three times), New York (three times), Chicago and Boston Marathons.
