Our Story
Fleet Feet Jefferson City may be new, but our team members sure aren’t! Our owner Nancy Yaeger, a longtime runner and triathlete, managed a specialty running store prior to opening Fleet Feet Columbia in 2017.
Our employees are team captains, collegiate athelets, retired cross-country moms, Ironman and more. We come from different places but are united by one passion – making sure YOU are ready to hit the pavement.
Fleet Feet Jefferson City opened in December 2023. Even before our doors were opened, runners were crowding outside and racking up miles. You've probably seen us running and walking around Mid-Missouri.
However, there’s only so much you can learn online. Come in and say hello!

Nancy has been a runner since her gym teacher encouraged her to run in first grade. Fourteen years ago, a friend persuaded her to take her love of running and start competing in triathlons. Her first trip down the pool was not pretty but she kept going and did her first triathlon at Trizou in 2009. Since then she has completed numerous triathlons, marathons and ultra-marathons, including 3 Full Ironman Triathlons.
Nancy was the head coach for the Stephens College Cross Country team for 5 seasons until the summer of 2019. She is a USAT Level 1 Certified Coach. She was the founder of Tiger Endurance Company, a youth triathlon team in Columbia, MO. and was one of the founders of the Heart of Missouri chapter of Girls on the Run. She has encouraged and coached numerous athletes. Nancy loves helping others reach their goals.
As a coach, Nancy is dedicated to making sure her athletes learn proper form and make good use of strength training to lessen injury risk. She brings that same passion to the store to help walkers, runners, and triathletes to find what works for them.
