Over time, the business expanded to include a dedicated running department in 2012, reflecting the evolving interests of local athletes. The team at Goldstream Sports actively participates in trail advocacy, safety initiatives like bike rodeos, and community events, emphasizing sustainability and long-term access to outdoor recreation.
