Mid-August Special for Hood to Coast and Portland to Coast

Hood to Coast and Portland to Coast Relays are at the end of August and we have a special HOOD TO COAST CAPTAIN AWARD!. In recognition for all you've done to get your team to the starting line, GFR wants to reward you with $15 OFF shoes, apparel or accessories. (*Some exclusions apply. Good for Portland to Coast Captains too! Offer expires 8/28/09)

So if you are the captain, come in and cash in your $15 gift. If you're not, tell your captain about this special Captain AWARD and thank them for all their hard work. They deserve it! Click here for a last minute H2C checklist and a link to the CAPTAIN AWARD.

GALLAGHER FITNESS RESOURCES WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY AUGUST 29. Our staff will be participating in the Hood to Coast Relay and will not be in Salem.

    Summer Fashions are here! Jasper extends her D.O.G.S. special!

    Hi! I'm Jasper! As Director of Grand Sales [D.O.G.S.] I put my dog brain to work to make this a great summer. Summer's the time to run to the park, wag your tail, and roll around in the grass on your back. There's never a good time to be injured, especially summertime. The first line of defense against injuries is to make sure you're in good shoes. So rotate a new pair into the mix. Summer's also time to get a fresh new look for all the upcoming events with fun, bright apparel!

    So update your shoes, brighten your wardrobe, and pick up some accessories this August. Be the best dressed member of your Portland to Coast and Hood to Coast teams! This promotion has been a great one! I sure like to see happy customers in great looking apparel. The August Jasper Special:

    Purchase two tops at full price and get a pair of shorts at 50% off! Mention the Jasper Special and the deal is yours!

    [Tops include singlets, tanks, short sleeve and long sleeve. Shorts include women's skirts, but not capris or pants. OFFER GOOD ON IN-STORE ITEMS ONLY. No Special Orders for this deal].
