After 38 fun years of serving our community, we are thrilled to announce that our two oldest kids, Alec (35) and Audrey (33), have now officially joined us (Cynthia and Mark) as co-owners of Ragged Mountain! 

Both Alec and Audrey have spent a good part of their lives at Ragged, having worked with our valued customers for over 20 years apiece and we're absolutely delighted that they are deeply and passionately committed to making it their life's journey in continuing Ragged Mountain's ongoing mission to be the very best community neighbors. 

A lot has changed since we first opened the doors to Ragged Mountain in 1982. Back then, 90% of our customers were male, their average age was 25 and all of them ran. Today, the average age of our customer is fifty, close to half of them walk for their exercise and over half are female.

But two things remain the same, as Alec and Audrey step into this new role: 

​1. We still continue to deeply appreciate the support we receive from our customers, both old and new. 
2. We strive, throughout each and every day, to provide the very best service to all of our patrons!      

Please join their proud Mom and Dad in welcoming Alec and Audrey to this official role in the life of Ragged Mountain. We're so happy!

"We are delighted to announce that legendary Ragged Mountain Running & Walking Shop, an iconic business in Charlottesville since 1982, has signed on as a new sponsor to the rapidly expanding JerryRatcliffe.com.
For anyone growing up in Charlottesville or running in area races, running for the University of Virginia, when the sport of running comes up, it is synonymous with Ragged Mountain. Mark and wife Cynthia Lorenzoni have been the lifeblood of running in our area for four decades.

Ragged Mountain is a family business, which specializes in running apparel of any sort, every shoe imaginable for both running and walking. It is a name you can trust because it is owned by runners who know every phase of the business and the sport.

As a bonus to sponsoring our website, which is dedicated to covering UVA athletics and the ACC, we convinced Mark to allow us to tap in to his expertise on a weekly basis for a Charlottesville area & UVA running news update.
We’re going to call it “The Sub-4,” standard in the running community for the sub-Four Minute Mile. Mark’s weekly update will cram all the local running news into his audio (eventually video) in just shy of four minutes for your convenience.
Ragged Mountain Running Shop is located at 3 Elliewood Ave in Charlottesville, on The Corner. Stop by and give Mark and his family a shout out and let them know how you like his weekly “Sub-4.”
