Pacers who complete all the bubbles on their Passport by the end of the year will get a super-special, super-secret bit-o-swag.
Curious? Want answers? Reach out to PPPF (Pagoda Pacer Passport Facilitator) Michelle Henry with your questions, or just show up at a race or a group run or a meeting and ask about it. (Don’t forget to bring your passport.)
Designed to enhance your club experience, the Pacer Passport is a great way to promote club involvement in a fun, goal-oriented, and rewarding way.
Show some love and support for our own club races and all the hard work race directors put into them by registering for a Pacer race. If we want others to participate in our races, we should too!
Give back to the club by volunteering for 2 club related events.
Help develop the club by providing valuable input at 3 meetings.
Impact, support, motivate, inspire, challenge, and connect with our running community by attending 4 Pacer group runs.
This initiative kicked off in 2022 with 17 members turning in a completed passport at the end of the year. In 2023, we saw 26 completed passports turned in. Let’s keep that momentum trending up in 2024!
Interested in completing the 2024 Pacer Passport?
Here’s how to participate:
Print out the passport or pick one up at a monthly membership meeting or WNR. Passports can also be requested by emailing mhenry.pacers@gmail.com.
Each time you complete one of the activities, get it initialed by the appropriate person noted on the passport.
Once all 10 boxes are initialed, turn in the passport.
Get rewarded with a limited-edition Pacer swag item exclusive to those who completed the passport.
New this year:
If you are physically unable to fulfill the Pacer Race requirement, please reach out to Michelle Henry or Steve Vida to discuss an alternate completion action.
Passports must be signed within 1 week of completing an activity. It is preferred that they are signed at the time of completing an activity whenever possible.
Have no fear – all activities that were completed in January 2024 prior to the release of the new passport will be honored.

What is the earnable swag item for 2023? Stay tuned for that announcement in February’s newsletter!
Technically it’s not too late to start on one of these, but you must act now because time IS running out!
Throughout the year we have implemented some improvements to make this a little easier to complete. Changes include:
An extended due date to include Kris Kringle, creating an extra opportunity for an additional volunteer and/or race
Implementing a Zoom link for some of our monthly meetings to include those who simply cannot make the meetings in person.
Included our club coordinated holiday morning group runs as well as our recently revived club coordinated weekend group runs.
Upcoming Opportunities to keep in mind:
Race and Volunteer: Blues Cruise, Oley Valley Country Classic, Shiver by the River December, and Kris Kringle
Monthly membership meetings: Only 3 more meetings for this year. September, October, and November. No Zoom link for September but we’ll go back to that for October and November meetings.
Group Run: There are 17 Wednesdays left in the year, a few holidays and a chance of weekend group runs
Congrats to the following members who have already completed and turned in their passport. Will your name be added to this list next?
It was a 3-way tie!! These girls each checked off the last box on their Pacer Passport at this past weekend’s Charlie Horse Trail Half Marathon & Dirty Pony Trail 5k! They are the first 3 to complete all requirements. Congrats Michelle, Katie, and Lisa! Are you next?!
Passports Completed!
If you’re late to the game and need a copy of the passport, you can pick one up at a Wednesday night run or at the monthly membership meetings. You can also request one by emailing president@pagodapacers.com or download a copy HERE.
*Update to the Passports – Pacer Holiday morning group runs will count towards the Wednesday Night Run requirement.
Looking to own limited edition premium Pagoda Pacer swag? Here’s your opportunity to do so.
I introduce to you, The 2022 Pacer Passport. The Pacer Passport is an easy way to keep track of your club involvement and be rewarded for it!
Here’s what you do…
Print out the passport or pick one up at a monthly membership meeting.
Each time you complete one of the boxes, get it initialed by the appropriate person noted at the bottom.
Once all 10 boxes are initialed, turn in the passport.
**Participants are responsible for keeping track of their own progress.
Passports are valid January 1, 2022 – December 26, 2022. Why December 26th? That’s the last Wednesday Night Run of the year, and therefore your last opportunity to check a box off.
All passports MUST be submitted by 12/26/2022. Swag item will be ordered once all passports are turned in at the end of the year.
Submit your completed passport to Michelle Henry in person or take a picture of it and email to president@pagodapacers.com.
