Started in 2021, this race is in honour of our much loved former Chairman, Stephen Williams. Stephen was a huge inspiration for the Pacers and also a big supporter of Parkrun. For many years Stephen showed incredible courage battling Sarcoma and bowel cancer, at times getting back onto the track only days after an operation.
All proceeds after costs of putting on the event will be donated to the clubs nominated charity which changes each year: The 2026 race is fundraising for Cystic Fibrosis Trust.
