About Us

Who are we?

Well, right now, it’s just me—Linda. I’m the owner, the sewer, the designer, and basically the person wearing all the hats for Achievement Repair and Gear. I’ve been part of the ultra and trail running community for over 15 years. I have a personal understanding of what runners need and what’s missing from the market.

Before launching Achievement Repair and Gear in the summer of 2026: I spent 35 years as an occupational therapist, where I honed my ability to develop individualized functional solutions. I went back to school for my fashion design certificate after “retiring” in 2024. Now, I’m bringing that same problem-solving mindset to performance gear and apparel.

I’m Linda, and I am actively building Achievement Repair and Gear.

Find me at local races and trail meet ups

I do custom work at reasonable prices that actually save you money. I focus on durability, function, and extending the life of gear that already works. The best gear is the gear that meets your needs and lasts. Holes, zippers, and secure storage solutions are my primary focus with some limited work on special projects. I give free estimates, and advice. If I can help you fix your own gear, that’s a win in my book. I meet my clients out on the trail, at races and meet up groups. The Where to find me page shows where I am planning on being on the trails each week. If you want me to visit another meet up group or set up an appointment just let me know, I want to give you the time you deserve.

You can contact me directly at achievementrandg@icloud.com

Find out more about the business

Visit the Achievement Repair and Gear page to find out about our mission, vision and values. The business is being build in real time. I opened officially summer of 2026. I’m still learning and improving some of the parts of the business that are new to me, like building a website. I will be adding content each week. I will have a stronger presence at races hopefully by the end of 2026. I’ve got the sewing down, it’s turning everything into a business that I’m still working on. So keep checking back and leave a comment – it would be great to see something other than spam.
