Updates for the Week of August 3, 2020:
Because we are still not able to meet in person, we wanted to provide a new way to interact with each other. So we created a Facebook Group, OFFICIAL PASADENA PACERS MEMBER GROUP!!! Go ahead and join and connect virtually with out members! Everyone joining the new group must be a registered Pasadena Pacer — if you have not previously registered,(click here to register).
Join us for our Pacer Virtual Toast , Thursday, August 6, 7 pm – 9 pm.
Congratulations to all graduates of our most recent Walkers, Pre-Cohttps://www.runpacers.org/pasadena/nditioners , and 10 Mile Challenge training programs. New programs will be starting again on Saturday, August 15.
We can’t meet in-person, therefore, we will be using more social media and virtual meeting tools to keep Pacers connected.
