The mural, which is located at 1301 E. Washington St., features a person running with the words “You got this” written on the sole of one of the person’s shoes. It was commissioned by store owner Dane Simmons and building owner Thomas Croft in preparation for welcoming an extension of the Swamp Rabbit Trail. The expanded trail will run past the base of Run In’s building on Richland Way under Washington Street and into Cleveland Park.

“Whether exercising, out walking the dog, taking a stroll with the kids or traveling down Washington Street by car, we wanted to provide a daily reminder that, ‘You Got This,’” Hennessey said. “The coloration of the mural is playful and bold. I was inspired by the bright, energetic colors found on the athletic gear inside the store and tied in some natural colors found among the building’s surroundings.”
