The Long Run storefront is open
Last autumn brought significant uncertainty, and we nearly closed our doors. Ultimately, our passion for this community, local athletes, and our weekly group runs and events inspired us to stay. Navigating the last few months has thrown us some hurdles, but our mission remains unchanged. The Long Run is proud to provide the community with premier running apparel, nutrition, and gear. We invite you to shop local and utilize the Pace House as your go-to hub for runs, cycling, and brick training. We are here, we are open, and we are ready for the miles ahead.
With love,
The Long Run team

The Long Run
The Long Run is a locally owned running store and community hub in Knoxville, Tennessee. Located at 2452 Sutherland Ave., near Third Creek Greenway and the University of Tennessee, weβre built around a simple idea: helping runners train consistently, fuel properly, hydrate smarter, and finish strong.
The Long Run is our retail shop. Pace House is our community.
We donβt have a wall of shoesβand thatβs intentional. We focus on what runners need after they start: quality fueling, hydration, apparel, accessories, and smart gear that helps you keep moving. Whether you're training for your first race, chasing a PR, heading out for the trails, or taking on an ultramarathon, we help you prepare for the miles ahead.
More than a running store, Pace House is where Knoxville runners show up. Join us for free weekly group runs, connect with local runners, and hang out before or after your miles in a space built for the running community.
