As of February 8th, the temporary capacity limits that were previously in place (25% capacity) have been reverted back to the guidance from December 2020. For Marathon Sports, this means our stores capacity will be 40% (excluding staff) until further guidance is provided by the state. This means we are open for shopping, no appointment necessary.
Throughout this process we’ve had certain safety precautions in place to keep both our staff and our guests safe. Rest assured knowing that we take this very seriously, and provide a safe environment for everyone who walks through our doors.
Here’s what you can expect when you visit one of our physical locations:
Safety Comes First
- We ask that everyone who comes into our physical store locations, please respect the health and safety of yourself and our staff by adhering to our posted policies.

Implementing social distancing standards
