PAC PACERS

A Community for Runners of All Levels

PAC Pacers is a social fun run or walk (some even bike!) for all ages, abilities, PAC members, and non-members. The group meets every Wednesday evening at the Mandeville trailhead starting at 6:15 pm. Before running, there is time to chat, hang out, listen to announcements, and review the routes. Afterward, some stay to have a bite to eat together! During the summer, the group provides mid-route water to support a SAFE & happy run during these sweltering days.

Brittany tells the story of her journey:

This group is making one of Brittany Pastor’s dreams come true. Brittany dreamed of

“In 2011, I wanted to give back to the community, but I also had an interest in physical activity (I disliked running). I was listening to the radio, and there was an ad for the Leukemia/Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training organization. The deal was that they would train you to run a marathon, and in exchange, you hosted fundraisers to raise money for patients. It was exactly what I wanted to do! Three full marathons, countless half marathons, and two kids later, I am now at a place where I want to spread the love of movement via walking or running. It’s not about competing, being fast—it NEVER was. It was ALWAYS about “my” crew I showed up to run with. We are still friends to this day!” trailhead and start your running journey with PAC Pacers!

PAC pacers are all about community and support—walking/running in the community and being together. Some people feel incredibly intimidated by meeting up with strangers or even just the idea of running. But have no fear! At PAC Pacers, there are walkers, runners, and casual strollers taking in all the nature around them.

“We are not a bunch of elite runners. Some of us hate running! We cheer on our walkers, run-walkers, kiddos, fast runners, slow runners, and everything else!
