Wednesday Night Runs (April ’25 Locations)

by pagodapacers

Our mid-week group runs have at least two different distance options (3-4 miles and 5-6 miles) with an appointed leader for at least one of the two routes. Each run will have its own Facebook “event,” and the routes will be posted a couple days before the run. After each run, those who can will stick around for food, drink, and good conversation, either at a nearby restaurant or a club member’s residence. Come for the run; stay (if you can) for the fellowship. (If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries–just come run with us!)

All runs start at 6:15 p.m.

Letter from the President (January, 2025)

by pagodapacers

Dear Pacers,

I’ve always considered the Wednesday Night Run to be a core component of the Pagoda Pacers’ identity. I think it is a primary means of drawing new members into the club. During the last 3 years, we have consistently provided leaders for both a long and short route at the Wednesday Night Run. This was an attempt to accommodate different ability levels and create a welcoming environment for new runners.

Starting in 2025, we won’t be able to provide the same level of attention. I’d like to highlight these changes:

  • We will continue to post a map for a long and short route each week. I will continue to lead the longer route, but we won’t always have a guaranteed leader for the short route. Week-to-week we’ll manage with whoever is in attendance.
  • I’ve had some requests to mix in new locations for WNR. If you have any ideas for new routes, please let me know. Maybe it’s your go-to loop near your home. Give some consideration to adequate parking at the start, as well as manageable traffic and visibility along the route.
  • Please don’t ask me “Where’s Matt?” at an upcoming WNR. It’s still too soon.

Contact me with any feedback.

Steve
