Equipment Store.

Why should you shop with Fast Trax?  We're specialty run & ski, independently owned & operated since 1992

All staff run & ski - we have National Champions in both run & ski, World Cup racers, National Team wax technicians, road & trail race champions.  We can use our knowledge to help kit you out.

Through local & national charities we support those in need with discounted & donated equipment
​


In the 26 years we have been open our goal has been to bring  all the niche run & ski products into one place.  We encourage all customers to take their time with the selection process; shoes can be tried on our Woodway treadmill and with skiing we use digital flex testing so you can make an educated decision on your equipment purchase.

 For any product inquiries shoot us a note at info@ftrs.ca or call 780-469-9292 with anything you’re after.  If you're not sure what you need we can help by asking some questions & providing options.
