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.

How to Join the Pacers
If you are wondering how and if you can join our running club then the answer is yes! You will be most welcome to attend the club training nights which are held on Monday and Wednesday at 6.30pm at the West Suffolk Athletics Track.
The club caters for all ages; all standards from beginners to marathon runners, there is good gender mix and a healthy junior section. If you make your way down the steps from the Abbeycroft Leisure Centre to the track just make yourself known and one of the coaches will make you feel welcome. The first two sessions are free so why not give it a try. If after this you would like to join then let us know and we can provide you with a membership form.
How to Join the Pacers Forum
You may recall we previously had a website forum which was inudated with spam and eventually this was scrapped. At the last AGM I was asked to set up a Yahoo Forum and this I have now done and you can join from the link below. Please note only club members can join and unless your e-mail is one that I recognise from the membership database you won't be able to join. In this way I am hoping to beat the spam.
Please use the forum as you wish. Obviously it will only work well if most members join and the yahoo forum can then be used as a way of communicating invites to races, relays sharing lifts, announcements etc.
