Global Running Day: June 5, 2024

Global Running Day is Wednesday, June 5.  Fleet Feet West Reading is celebrating with “The Big Run 5k” at the Brentwood Trailhead.  The Pagoda Pacers and other community partners will be there with our tents and tables set up to share information and promote the club.  More details are available here:

The club has a discount code (pacer10) for any Pagoda Pacers running the race. If you use this code, registration is only $10. We will also give a prize to the fastest Pacers who run the race. Check in with us at the Pacer table before the race so we know who’s running. (This is not part of the official race awards from the race directors.)

Because this is on a Wednesday, it interferes with our regular Wednesday Night Run.  We will not be leading a typical WNR group that night, but please come out and be part of “The Big Run” if you’re free!
