Port Macquarie Pacers Running Club
#PaceYourself
A huge contingent of very rugged up Pacers ran and drove to Wauchope on Saturday. There were some impressive performances, with members taking out age category records for the scenic course and PPL handicaps busted all over the place.
Dave and Mads celebrated their 50th parkrun with cake (of course) and a finish line guard of honour.
Off we go to Taree parkrun this weekend!
Well, Port parkrun was a PB-a-thon for Pacer members last weekend. Congratulations go out to Drew, Carina, Alexis, Damon, Steph and the crazy-fast Ryan on your PB runs!!!
Rob ran his 100th parkrun, congrats Rob!
A small, but no less amazing, Pacer team tackled the Brisbane Running Festival with Kylie B (the original) taking on the 10km, Sue smashing the half and Chris B absolutely killing it in the marathon! Well done crew!
Thanks to a frantic flurry of last minute voting, Pacers managed to win first place in the Essential Energy community grants, awarded $2,500 which will go towards new run/event equipment. Very exciting times ahead for our wonderful little Running Club!
Sunday 12 May 2019 saw the running of the first Pacer 10km handicap race. Those not enjoying a Mother’s Day sleep in and breakfast in bed braved the icy wind to suffer through a 10km effort. Notable results included James going sub-50 for the first time and Clarissa getting back to some strong running form with an 48.33 and taking out the win.
Pacers travelled to parkruns at Stockton, Newy, Armidale, Horseshoe Bay Reserve and The Entrance.
Binskin Snr (Jon) and Binskin Jnr (Ryan) ran their 100th consecutive parkrun and Ryan also hit 150 total parkruns.
Take 2 of the Pacer team photo was deemed a success, albeit quite a few members being missing on the day.
It was the weekend for tourist parkruns, with Pacers participating at Tamworth, Taree, Horseshoe Bay Reserve, Broadbeach Waters, Ararat and of course Port Macquarie parkrun events.
Gary ran his 100th parkrun at Ararat – congrats Gary!!!
The long weekend also meant a big turn out for the Easter Sunday Pacer Pursuit, with coffee and chocolate eggs at Little Shack afterwards.
What a weekend!
Paul, Ebanie and Chel smashed out new PBs at Port parkrun, while Binnie and Pat broke poor Dave.
Sue ran a great Half Mara at one of her fave events, the Australian Running Festival in Canberra, while Gary took home a swathe of medals from the SA Port Pirie Masters Games.
A big contingent of Pacers enjoyed the Social Sunday run from Bonny Hills to Catarina Estate and back for brekky and coffee at Fat Fish Cafe.
