Pacers Running

Founded in 1991, Pacers is a running institution in Northern Virginia and has evolved into the premier running specialty stores in the Mid-Atlantic. Proud to be family-owned and operated, Pacers is the store of choice for runners and walkers in the metro Washington DC area and beyond. The quality of Pacers' extensive product line is only surpassed by the service and advice our experienced staff members provide to each customer. Since acquiring Pacers in 2003, the Farley family has solidified Pacers' reputation as the leading running specialty store in the area, further supported by their opening of a second Pacers store in Arlington, Virginia in December 2004. In 2006, the Farley family was the recipient of the prestigious Arlington Chamber of Commerce Abby award recognizing Pacers as one of the best new businesses in Arlington County. In recognition of the Farley's commitment to their community, Pacers was recently recognized by the Alexandria Chapter of the American Red Cross as a leading Alexandria business-philanthropist. Just two weeks after the devastating Hurricane Katrina, Pacers organized and sponsored the Gulf Coast Relief Run, an event that enjoyed over 4,000 participants and raised over $120,000 for gulf coast residents. Pacers also manages and sponsors the George Washington Parkway Classic 10 Mile and 5K, which in 2006 raised over $60,000 for the Alexandria Boys & Girls Club. The Farley family believes in the strength of local community, and are active supporters of various running clubs, nonprofits, races, and other events. We are grateful for the reception we have received in our hometown of Arlington and the 16 years of support from our customers and neighbors in Old Town. We value the loyalty and trust you put in Pacers to provide you with the best shoes, apparel, accessories, and advice and thank you for your continued patronage.
