Black Dog Running Company

Story of Black Dog Running Company






Black Dog Running Company was established in 2012, and we are Myrtle Beach’s headquarters for specialty footwear for an active lifestyle.
As the first specialized running store in the area, we’ve brought exclusive brands and built a supportive community for athletes, laborers, and those in recovery from orthopedic setbacks. Our services promote motion and wellness through expert gait analysis, personal fittings, and continual engagement with our community.We pride ourselves on helping everyone find the perfect fit to move forward, celebrating when our footwear changes a life. Whether it’s testing out shoes, socks, and sunglasses, running with friends, or enjoying post-run meals, we believe in balancing hard work with rest and with fun. On July 2, 2024, our beloved small business became proudly women-owned by Kelly Burton and Diane Whitman, two fans and employees beginning in 2018. It is our passion and honor to continue the traditions that have kept our doors open and our community running strong.
