non-notable company. can't see article for the spam. There may be a notable article under the advert, but I couldn't verify it, with what I could verify wasn't in the source. Widefox ; talk 22:19, 23 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep, They are a major running retailer in Massachusetts with a deep history. I took out anything to make the article seem like it is written like an advertisement. Working to make the article neutral. Took out any intricate detail. Starting over to make this article better.Whoisjohngalt (talk) 08:47, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Ad issue solved (as per our discussion at User talk:Whoisjohngalt), but what's notable? the local business award/review is standard local promo. Having a marathon shop at the end of the course is interesting, and the bomb being outside it is also newsworthy, but encyclopaedic? Widefox ; talk 13:01, 24 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep This is a retailer with a 38-year history and nine locations. Its role in the immediate aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings adds to its notability. It's not sufficient by itself, but it adds to it. --Crunch (talk) 12:51, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
