About Us

Dick Pond Athletics Crest Hill has been serving the Will County Running Community since October 2005.  Our store was founded on our passion for running, and we hope that passion shows in our customer service and dedication to the running community.  One of our main goals at Dick Pond Crest Hill is to keep all of our customers running healthy and injury free.  We do this by working very closely with area foot doctors and physical therapists, as well as only providing the top tier running shoes and gear.  Running is more than just a sport.  It is a stress reliever, friend, art form, and a way of life.
