Dan’s first marathon

The quiet achiever Dan Watts smashed out his very first marathon at NewRun (Newcastle Running Festival) on Sunday. Paced by Cliff Hoeft and Jon Binskin, Dan crossed the line in 3hrs 24mins, an epic time for a first attempt at the 42.2km distance! Dan even bagged an age group place! Congrats Dan the Man!!!

Dan, Cliff and Jon were joined at NewRun by Chel, Carina and Bernadette who ran the 10km.

Love and Marriage, PBs, a first time win, RunWest action, and a winery tour. Phew!

What better way to start a weekend than with 4 PB’s and a first time win! Chel, Madeline, Cliff and Paul all smoked out PBs at Port parkrun, with Paul, in his first run in the Pacers singlet, smashing out a win! #ItsNotARace 😉

Meanwhile, at the winery, the ladies were working up a thirst at Grapest

And in Sydneys west, Amanda and Suzie took on RunWest, and scored some epic bling!

Oh yeah, and these two love-birds tied the knot! Big day! #BiggLove

Pacers take over Coffs parkrun

A large contingent of the finest Pacer members road-tripped to Coffs Harbour on the weekend, and dominated Coffs parkrun.

Pacers took out tokens 001, 002 and 003 with Ryan Binskin, Jon Binskin and Cliff Hoeft bringing their speedy legs on the day.

It was a sea of blue Pacer shirts with Grechs, more Binskins and Hoefts, Gardiners, Fitzgeralds, Banks, Whites, Philps, Cash/Kings, Browns, Dawsos, Goodwins, Stevensons, Gregorys, Ashtons and Poltoraskys scattered throughout the field.

Well done crew!

Gary nails a sub-20!

The one and only Gary Snow smashed out his first sub-20min 5k at Port Macquarie Parkrun this morning, after chasing the elusive goal for almost six months! Fellow Pacer Cliff Hoeft paced Gary perfectly, coming in in an official time of 19 minutes 41 seconds.

Huge congratulations to you Gary!

Port Mac Run Fest 2019

Well, it was stinking hot, and ridiculously humid, but we all got out there and busted ourselves at the Port Macquarie Running Festival over the weekend. Highlights were

  • Honni and Jo completing their first half marathon
  • Ryan, Gary and Grace with Age Group Wins
  • Adam and Natalia with PBs in the half
  • Jon became the ‘last buster standing’ – the only person to complete all Forster and Port Macquarie Buster races
