Fun Fact: The Perkiomen Creek has its source in Berks County. Perhaps that’s why there’s a Perkiomen Ave in Reading, Mt Penn, and Exeter, even though the Perky doesn’t merge with Schuylkill for many more miles.

After leaving Berks, the Perkiomen winds its way through MontCo to the luscious Green Lane Reservoir.

We, too, will leave Berks this January and make our way to the “Rue de Vert,” where we will run loops (or at least one loop) around the Perky waters.

Interested? Note the (im)pertinent information below:

Meet at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, January 18 at the Green Lane Red Trail Parking on Knight Rd (Green Lane, PA).

Routes with exact mileage and elevation will be posted on the Pagoda Pacers Facebook Event Page. The long route from this location is typically about 12 miles, but there will be options for a shorter route.

We will also go out for lunch after the run–location TBD.

Fun Fact: Perkiomen comes from the Lenni Lenape term Pakihm Unk, meaning “cranberry place.”

This month’s “away game” will take place at Evansburg State Park in Collegeville on Sunday, July 21.

The run will start at 9:30 a.m., and the route will be about 10 miles in length (with options to cut it short).

The route and a post-run lunch spot will be posted to the Facebook Event closer to the date.

Hope to see you there!

Each month, the Pagoda Pacer Long Run Committee organizes a group run in a location beyond Berks County, so we can explore new trails together. We also typically go out to lunch together after the run before heading home. Come join us!

This month’s run will be in Mount Gretna, PA on Saturday, June 29th.

We will meet at 9:30 a.m. at Clarence Schock Memorial Park (Governor Dick):
3283 Pinch Rd, Lebanon, PA 17042

Routes for the run and a post-run lunch location will be posted on the Facebook Event, where you can also ask any questions you might have.

See you there!
