Run for Another We are excited to carry Janji apparel in our store. Janji means “Promise” in Malay. The Janji promise is to use the power of running to fight the global water crisis. Co-founders Mike and Dave competed in the 10k at the NCAA DIII National Championships in 2010 during the hottest day of the year. The water stops were what helped them compete at a high level. During the long bus ride home, the teammates began to discuss the idea of a running company that could help solve the water problem throughout the world. Janji was born soon after. A portion of each sale, helps provide clean drinking water to: Haiti, Kenya, Peru, Rwanda, Tanzania, and the USA. Each piece, of high performance apparel, has a design that is specific to the country. It’s awesome to see a running company get involved in this initiative, because these areas have produced some of the greatest distance runners in history. Water is so accessible to us, It’s easy take this for granted. Still, millions of people in these countries, lack drinking water and proper sanitation. Through their partnership, Janji and Water.org, millions of people will be provided with clean water. Come down and check the collection at the 605 Running Co., and run for another.
