December 1st will be the start of our 25th year in business! It seems totally impossible that it’s been that long since we opened our door and yet, it’s crazy to think about all the things we’ve done over the past 24 years. So with that being said, we feel this is the perfect time to introduce you to the new owner of Running with E’s - Rachel (Ham) Miller! Rachel has been coming to the store since she was in middle school running for Hudson and while running for Siena Heights University so she is very familiar with our business and what we do. She is a small business owner, a wife, and mom of 3 little boys with a background in orthopedics as a PA. But most importantly, she loves to run! We could not imagine a better fit for our store and the running community. We will definitely miss our customers and friends, but we aren’t moving away any time soon so we can still keep in touch. If you know us, you know how much we love our family and this will give us a chance to be with them more. We look forward to seeing Rachel make Running with E’s her own, but still keeping with the same customer service and idea of fitting everyone who comes in with a perfect pair of shoes. So please welcome Rachel and wish her well on this new chapter

Hosted by the Lenawee Endurance Club in partnership with Hungry Howie’s
📅 Saturday, October 25, 2025 | 🕗 8:30 AM Start | 📍 Adrian High School
The Lenawee Endurance Club is proud to bring back The Missing Slice – Love, Hope & Pizza 5K for its second year! This annual event raises funds and awareness for breast cancer research, support, and early detection through the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
Why “The Missing Slice”?
The name is a nod to our mission: to help close the gap in resources needed to end breast cancer—and a shout-out to our title sponsor, Hungry Howie’s, who will be serving up free post-race pizza for all participants!
This event is personal to so many of us—whether you or a loved one has faced breast cancer, we invite you to run, walk, or cheer in support of this meaningful cause. Our community fundraising goal this year is $2,500, and 100% of donations will go directly to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
