FARGO — It appears Fargo Running Company, a retail running store at 1801 45th St. S., has run its course.

Owner Cley Twigg announced plans to close the store in an email Friday, Jan. 24, to members of its training program.

"Thank you for everything, I really can't tell you how much this pains me but I have no other options remaining. This was something I always wanted to do and I am thrilled that I had the opportunity to live a dream and your support over the years helped fuel that dream."
