yes. go into the gameplay settings and you can set up the controls there. at the top you should see a menu with either 360 controller or keyboard input. select keyboard input...
if you dont have a pad the game is almost unplayable, especially on keyboards that only allow 1 simultaneous keypress.
if you like this or any other racing game get a 2 stick controller, they make playing much more fun...
I have a controller for my pc which works with all games - witcher 2 ,Fifa 12,Nfs hot pursuit ,nfs shift,assasons creed revelations , etc.But it doesn't get detected in NFS The Run , there are only two options available ,wheel controller and keyboard. But the problem is my keyboard also doesn't work sometimes in the game menu and the biggest problem is that when i have to get out of the car,only two xbox buttons X and B flashes.But nothing work,i tried spacebar,enter , and almost every key,but didn't succeed.
