Carol Gilpin, Owner of Fleet Feet Vacaville, has been active through running, walking, and triathlon for 30 plus years. Prior to opening Fleet Feet Vacaville in 2004 she was a Registered Dietitian specializing in Diabetes Education and Sports Nutrition. Her passion in running started in 1990 when she watched finishers of the Long Beach Marathon and she vowed to run that exact race the following year. She did in fact run that race and has since run over 50 races ranging from the marathon distance (26.2 miles) up to 50 miles! When asked what is her favorite thing about having a Fleet Feet is, she responded "I love helping the community through fitness and financial support. I also love that my 3 daughters have grown up in my store, worked for me, and worked for other Fleet Feet's while attending college- that's pretty cool!" She is passionate about health and fitness and strives to bring a unique experience to the community. When not running, (either the store or getting those miles in) Carol spends time with her family and enjoys socializing with her husband, winemaker John Gilpin. Carol is a great example of how to have a successful business while still enjoying life and creating time for her family.
