we don't just sell running shoes - we live the run

CAREERS AT RUN

Running isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are.

At RUN, every mile, every stride, and every step matters. We started as a small, passionate group of runners who wanted to create something different—a space that felt like home for runners, built by runners. Since 2015, we've grown into South Africa’s most trusted destination for the best in running footwear, apparel, and gear. Our goal? To redefine what a running store can be.

From our flagship stores to the latest House of Speed, we’ve never been about ordinary retail. We build experiences. We design spaces that inspire. And we curate only the best products—because runners deserve nothing less.

Why Work With Us?

At RUN, it’s not just about selling shoes. It’s about knowing the sport inside and out, helping runners find their perfect fit, and sharing in the joy of every finish line—whether it’s their first 5K or a brutal ultra-trail. We believe that expertise comes from experience, and that’s why our team is made up of people who live and breathe the sport.

We’re not just growing—we’re evolving. As we push boundaries in retail design and community engagement, we need people who are ready to bring fresh energy, creativity, and passion to the table. Whether you’re a product expert, a storyteller, or someone who loves connecting with the running community, there’s a place for you here.

Join the Movement

If you’re ready to be part of something bigger than just a job—if you want to be surrounded by people who get what it means to chase a goal, to lace up before sunrise, and to keep pushing forward—then RUN might just be the perfect fit.

AVAILABLE POSITIONS

Part-time | Weekend shifts may be required

At RUN, we’re more than a store—we’re a community.

We’re looking for people who share our passion for running and want to help others find the right gear to chase their goals. If you thrive in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment and love connecting with fellow runners, this might be the perfect fit.

What You’ll Do

🔹 Be the face of RUN – Greet every customer with warmth and enthusiasm, making them feel at home the moment they step inside.
🔹 Share your knowledge – Help runners find the perfect shoe, gear, or accessory, whether they’re tackling their first 5K or training for an ultra.
🔹 Keep things moving – Maintain store inventory, stock shelves, and ensure the space is looking its best.
🔹 Work with the team – Jump in wherever needed, support your co-workers, and create an environment that runners want to return to.
🔹 Stay ahead of the game – Continuously learn about new products, gait analysis, and the latest innovations in running footwear and apparel.

What We’re Looking For

✅ Prior retail or customer service experience is a plus, but a great attitude and a passion for running matter more.
✅ Someone who listens, problem-solves, and genuinely enjoys helping others.
✅ A team player who’s adaptable, eager to learn, and ready to dive in.
✅ Comfortable with technology—tablets, POS systems, and learning new software.
✅ Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and able to multitask in a dynamic retail setting.

Why Join RUN?

We’re not just selling shoes—we’re building a space where runners can connect, learn, and get the best gear for the miles ahead. If you love the sport, believe in great customer service, and want to be part of a team that’s redefining running retail, we’d love to hear from you.
