Welcome to Xtra Mile Running
A speciality run shop so fun it's been outlawed in 17 states.
Since opening our doors in 2018, Xtra Mile has never strayed from our mission of community involvement and unparalleled customer service. The Couch-to-5k and kids programs, group runs, Run for the Roses, our medical partnerships, professional fitting & gait analysis... ALL of these are enabled by your support. Thank you to our amazing community!
Our Mission
To provide you with the tools, knowledge, and support to help you achieve your goals.
We know finding the right athletic products can be complicated. We’re here to keep it simple. Whether you are training for a race or just want quality footwear, by getting to know YOU, Xtra Mile employs a personalized approach to provide great support, help you stay injury-free, and match you with shoes you love!
Our Vision
A closely-knit group of recreational runners and walkers with deep roots and continuous involvement in Schaumburg and its neighboring communities.
Not everyone in our family is a runner - but everyone who runs is our family.
Our Story
If you are lucky enough to find something you love to do, we believe your mandate is to MIH (Make It Happen!). Chris was in management when three events inspired him to open Xtra Mile. 1) He became a dad and wanted a job that gave him more freedom. 2) He helped others achieve their running goals. 3) He earned his MBA and gained the confidence to pursue his dream. Now, he wants to go the xtra mile for you, so you can MIH, too!
