We wanted to reach out to everyone with an update as we continue to move through these challenging times around COVID.
First and foremost, we hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. As we plan for the 2021 race season, unfortunately we have just as much uncertainty as we had 6 months ago. The BC Health Officer has ordered a restriction of 50 people for events, which currently remains in place. In the interim, while we wait for this Provincial Order to be modified, we continue to work diligently on approvals available to us and will update of any progress as we go. Please be patient with us as we haven’t given up! The PACE team has been working hard to adapt and find new ways to be there for the running community and to try and keep our business open until we can get back to 100% capacity again. Over the next few weeks we will be announcing our strategy for our race series, mountain running camps, clinics and *new* online merchandise store. We have poured our hearts into the community and tried to keep PACErs connected, engaged, motivated and supported in new ways this year. We offered 5 free virtual races to any of our registered races & mailed out T-shirts and handmade finishers medals this year. We also adapted our clinic series to a partial virtual platform which was welcomed with open arms and has been a steady heartbeat for us this year. We know these adaptions don’t replace the real deal, however, we want to thank you all for the support, kindness and cooperation we have received along the way. We know we can get through this together. We also know everyone has made sacrifices this year and that we are not the only ones struggling to stay employed. We want to express how deeply grateful we are for all of your support and although 2021 may look different...we are bringing the same strong values, work ethic, positive attitude and appreciation to the PACE scene that we always have. ❤️ Hugs, PACE Team Thanks to everyone for helping make our virtual run community such a fun and inspiring place to be! This post is intended to help communicate our proposed mail out and pick up schedule for finishers t-shirts and medals. Please note that I handmade every single finishers medal in our local pottery studio and due to the limited amount of people allowed in the studio at one time and other COVID restrictions, it has prolonged the overall process. I appreciate your patience and I hope it will feel worth the wait when you do receive your medal make with love. That said, some medals turned out perfectly, while some medals look more like a blob. It's the way it goes and this year, of all years, I am learning to cherish the blobs even more. xo Please read through ALL of this information carefully. Mail-Out scheduleAugust 24th to August 28th - No Horse, Yes Horse & No Goat, Yes Goat items. September 21st to September 25th - No Bear, Yes Bear "April" finishers items.
