Come out to the Pagoda Pacer Picnic on Saturday, July 19th, and hang out with some friends you haven’t seen in a while. It’s been several years since we held a club picnic. This is at a new location with a new format that includes options for a fatass run in the morning and overnight camping.
Please recognize that we are pulling this together on short notice and squeezing it into this summer’s calendar, instead of waiting until next year. It’s not a thoroughly planned event, but we hope to try something new and build on it for next year. If you have ideas for additional picnic activities – that you are willing to implement – please email me at

LOCATION
The picnic will be held on the property of the South Mountain YMCA Camps. A few years ago, we held Wednesday Night Runs that started at Gallen Hall and covered both sides of the YMCA property. The picnic will be limited to the eastern side of the property, which includes Cushion Peak and the pet cemetery and a 3-mile trail loop.

COST/SIGNUP
Club Members: Free
Non-Members: $10
Kids: Free
This event is largely self-supported, with people bringing their own food and drinks. The club is covering the cost of renting the site, so we set a fee for non-members. Everyone should sign up using the link above, even if you are not making a payment. You can indicate which parts of the event you will attend, which will help us to prepare.
FATASS Details
We will mark a 2.5 mile loop (with 500ft of gain) and set up an aid station table at the start. Please bring a shareable contribution for the aid table. We’ll supply water. Running will start at 9am, but you can jump in whenever you arrive. There is no cutoff time; you can run all day if you want.

PICNIC Details
Bring chairs. Picnic activities are planned from 3-7pm. The club is not providing or cooking food because we don’t know how many people will attend. Please bring whatever food and drinks your family would like to have. I’m sure many people will bring shareable dishes as well, and we will set up a table for those items.
You can bring a camp stove or grill if you want to cook your food that way. The site has electricity, but it is limited and will NOT support multiple crock pots. So don’t plan to heat your food that way.
CAMPING Details
Bring your tent and gear.
