Pacific Road Runners ceased operations as a running club as of January 1st, 2024.
Pacific Road Runners (PRR) is a recreational running club, with members interested in leading a fit and active lifestyle combined with social events. We compete, but we don’t enter expecting to win. We’re more interested in achieving personal goals and having fun doing it.
We provide a safe, supportive group with which to train. Our runners cover a variety of pace groups with 10k race times ranging between approximately 37-62 minutes.
Where we run: We're very lucky in that we have a wide choice of scenic and relatively traffic free routes to choose from. Some popular routes include: Around False Creek, either past Science World, or shorter over Cambie Bridge, and back over Burrard Bridge. West to Kits Beach and Kits Pool and back, or continue to Jericho Beach. Across Burrard Bridge, and the seawall to English Bay. Continue on the Stanley Park Seawall to 2nd or 3rd Beach, or around Lost Lagoon, or even up to Prospect Point. Up the hill to Queen Elizabeth Park, and back through Shaughnessy.
How fast do we run: You should be comfortable running continuously for a minimum of 20-30 minutes. Our slowest members run 10 kilometers in a little over an hour. At the other end of the scale, we have some members who cover the distance in about 40 minutes. Most are somewhere in between. If you are unsure whether you can keep up, join us any Tuesday. We start out with a 2 mile warm-up loop, along the False Creek Seawall, to Stamps Landing and back, at a pace our slowest members are comfortable with.
How our run groups are organized: Our organization is informal. We do not have regular run leaders. Groups of different abilities form every night, and the group members decide how far they are going to run, and where. As a new member we will ensure you have someone to run with.
