Why isn't my PR Club working?

Always make sure you're signed into your account before placing your order to ensure you receive your PR Club membership benefits.
Also, we no longer give out physical membership cards. Now when you log into your account on our website, all of your benefits will apply at checkout.

Why am I not getting my discount?

After you've placed your items in your cart, a small pop-up box in the lower-middle section of your screen will come up with multiple options; make sure you select the right one to ensure you receive the full discounts.
For example: If you're a PR Club member, and there is an email promotion running, make sure you select "PR Club + Discount" from the pop-up box; this will combine your PR Club benefits and the current promotion.
Our goal is to always get your order shipped out to you as soon as possible; ideally with in 1-2 business days. However, all of our in-house staff also travel to the many race expos we attend across the country; which can sometimes leave us understaffed back at the warehouse.

Does National Running Center still have a retail store?

Our physical retail outlet is currently closed, but our online store remains open 24/7 for all your running needs.

Like many businesses, we faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly with the cancellation of running events that were central to our operations. As a result, we had to make the difficult decision to close our brick-and-mortar store and adjust our business model.

However, we're excited to share that you can still find us at over 150 running expos across the country! This allows us to continue serving our community in person while we work towards potentially reopening a permanent retail location in the future.

As running events continue to return and our business rebuilds, we remain optimistic about expanding our physical presence. We'll keep you updated on any developments.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. Whether online or at an expo, we look forward to helping you achieve your running goals!

Remember, our online store is always open at www.nationalrunningcenter.com
