    Best running store! Great customer service, selection of clothes and shoes (especially for women!). They also have training programs and fun runs--great way to explore Old Town.

    Whenever I buy anything for running at a Local Running Store, I do it at Pacers. And, they have the best races in the DMV, in Washington, DC

    I'm a little self conscious about some things -- like showing strangers my feet-- but these guys made me feel completely at ease, like they want me to perform at my best too.

    Joe is a great manager! See him for all your needs! He did a gait test to see how I run and told me that I needed certain shoes. I have a new pair of Brooks! They have a lot of great clothes too!

    Tim was super helpful in fitting me for new running shoes. They take the time to analyze your gait and will let you run around/on the treadmill til you find the perfect fit. def recommend.

    I don't know when Daniel went, but I always find lots of terrific running clothes every time I visit. I don't need to go anywhere else!

    The store does an awesome series of group fun runs - the Tuesday and Thursday night sessions are a blast.
