Pace Yourself Run Company – A Run Company with a Purpose

Our mission is to inspire our communities to be active, driven, and to make fitness a life-long experience. We aim to be the trusted choice of runners, walkers, and those seeking an active lifestyle. Our hope is that we are able to inspire, motive, educate, encourage and unite. At Pace Yourself Run Company, ALL PACES ARE WELCOME.

We opened Pace Yourself Run Company in the fall of 2019 with a mission to inspire our community of Holly Springs, North Carolina to be active, driven, and to make fitness a lifelong experience.

The idea and spirit of our running store venture was born from our local community, and “Pace Yourself” embodies that spirit. The spirit of welcoming younger to older, beginner to experienced – all of us getting out there and moving forward with our own purpose and motivation. Not just a description of what we sell, but a place, a destination. With an intention to help local runners and walkers find their pace, including quality running shoes, nutrition, apparel, training, information, and runs – mixed with a splash of craft beer at the “Runner’s Clubhouse” inside.

From the beginner walker to the elite runner, the staff at the Pace Yourself Run Company aims to give exceptional service and advice to all of our customers.

We expanded the Pace Yourself Run Company footprint with a second location in Southern Pines in the summer of 2022, and a third location in Wendell in the summer 2023. The Southern Pines and Wendell stores are located in the heart of downtown, both historic districts, and our mission has remained unchanged.

We welcome you to stop by one of our stores, either in Holly Springs, Southern Pines, or Wendell and discover how a proper fit can change your running and walking to a much more enjoyable experience. Our team would love to discuss your history of running or walking, any injuries you’ve dealt with which have sidelined you in the past, and provide an in-store analysis to determine the perfect pair of shoes for your individual needs. With the largest selection of running shoe brands in the area, we’re confident we will find the right fit for you.
