Pacers get busted on the Gold Coast

A small crew of Pacers travelled to one of our groups’ favourite destination races on the weekend, with team members competing in the 10km, half marathon and marathon at the Gold Coast Marathon event.

Karina and Dana took on the not-so-nice conditions on Saturday to complete the 10km.

Young master Binskin continues to smash goals, taking out an age-group win in the 10km! Congrats Ryan!!!

Rachel, Shannon, Amanda and Jo earned some new bling with an early start in the half marathon on Sunday. Well done ladies!

Cliff paced Adam to his first, long-awaited sub-3hr marathon, finally shaking the monkey off his back! Fabulous effort Adam!

Steve bagged a new PB, joining forces with Binnie up to about the 35km before soldiering on alone to finish strong. Gary and Dan smashed out another marathon each, and Dave encouraged Cindy through the sufferfest that is the last 10km of the mara to complete her first 42.2km.

Happy Global Running Day

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!
