Performance. Excellence. Individuality.
We know why you run.
We are runners ourselves.
We understand your desire, your drive to rise above.
We know what you expect in the running products
you depend on.
We depend on the same products ourselves.

In 2003, lifetime runner and avid marathoner Jim Micheels opened Raleigh Running Outfitters with his wife, Carolyn. Their intent was to introduce the performance running products they loved and depended on to runners in the growing Triangle area, to present them to fellow athletes with a level of customer service, connection, and camaraderie that had been formerly unknown.
Today, Raleigh Running Outfitters still strives to serve as a retailer to which all runners can go for honest, expert advice on product performance, training and racing, injury avoidance, and athletic excellence.
We pride ourselves in our ability to outfit you completely for any run, whether it's a long training run on a hot, summer day or a chilly, hilly race event in the mountains. If you're looking for the most advanced GPS system designed for runners or a lightweight hydration system to keep you going, we can show you what's available and tell you how well each product works, from firsthand experience.
And running shoes? That's our primary language. With more than 60 different styles of racing, minimal and training shoes from all the major manufacturers, we're versed in shoes. We carry only the performance models that are best for running, and our staff personally tests and evaluates them in order to provide meaningful advisement when you're selecting shoes. Plus, we use technologically advanced Video Gait Analysis to make specific recommendations for any correction your shoe should provide. Using high-speed video and slow motion/still imaging, our staff is trained to analyze your stride, ankle motion, and foot strike to measure your degree of pronation. Then, as you test different shoes on our treadmill, we help you select the best shoe for your biomechanical needs.
Running is no longer an individual sport. Finally, the support and service you deserve.
