Stan "the man" Cottrell is 78 years young and has run across America three times. He is the real life inspiration behind Forrest Gump and his running across our country. Stan is in the midst of running from LA to DC running 30 miles a day for 100 consecutive days and will be visiting us in Baltimore on Thursday. Stan will be at the Fells Point Charm City Run store from 4-6 pm to meet and talk with you! At 6 pm, he will head out on the Prominade for a 10 mile run and all are invited to share some miles with him.
Please remember that masks are required while inside the shop.
