Saint Edmund Pacers is a running club based in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England. The origins of the club go back to 1978 with keep fit sessions for Ladies and Gentlemen organised at the Sports Centre in Bury St Edmunds. To compliment the sessions the coach suggested that the participants met up on Sunday mornings to do some jogging.
The club now caters for all standards of runners from novice to internationals and all distances from the Sunday morning jog up to the full marathon.
The club meets at the West Suffolk Athletics Arena on Monday and Wednesday evenings at 6:30 p.m.
