PaceProject Running Group for 10 to 30 year olds based in Cairns and Townsville working together to be the best we can Over the years we have slowly grown.

Pace Project originally started in 2012 with a small group of kids from Trinity Beach State School. Our goal was to get school aged kids from 10 to 18 years to be competitive locally. We are now a not for profit registered sporting organisation and are very excited to see what the future brings to us. We have not only grown in size but also aspirations. Pace Project is now the home of close to 100 budding young athletes, all of which have made it onto the district school team, many of which have made it onto a Peninsula XC and/or T&F Team,

In 2016 5 made QLD School State Team, 18 have made a State Club Team, 2 won State XC

In 2017 4 made QLD School State XC Team, 22 made a State Club Team and we had a further 3 State Champions. With continued, consistent, structured training we hope to only improve. Led by former dual GB Olympian Jill Boltz the kids know in order to get good results that they are required to put in the hard work

PACE KIDS | QLD SCHOOL SPORT T&F CHAMPIONSHIPS 🏃‍♀️🔥

Brisbane was a big ask, but our Pace kids were committed, showed up and delivered! Every single one came away with PBs, along with some fantastic medal-winning performances. 👏

🥇 Yuri, 3 medals and 2 PBs! He ran what we knew he was capable of, but still managed to surprise himself!

🔥 Halle, 3 finals, 3 PBs, an awesome medal and confidence growing with every race.

🥇 Parker, 2 medals, 2 PBs, 3 finals and another fantastic championship performance.

🥇 Addi, 1 medal, 2 PBs, finals and another result to be proud of.

But beyond the medals and PBs, what makes us proudest is how these kids responded when things didn't go to plan. Some bounced back from what they saw as failure on day one to deliver PBs on day two. That's resilience. That's growth. And that's what sport is all about.

**Proud of every one of you — not just for what you achieved, but for how you responded when things got tough.** 💙

✨ STRONG WOMEN. BIG GOALS. NEVER STOP STRIVING. ✨

There’s something pretty special about watching our older PACE girls continue to chase their dreams, push their limits and show what’s possible when passion meets hard work ❤

🏃‍♀️ Tayla took a big brave step changing schools and it's looking like a great decision as she absolutely smashed her first Nuttycombe XC representing her new team, Utah, a huge achievement and an exciting new chapter! Proud of you Tayla.

🏃‍♀️ Izzy took on the Melbourne Half Marathon with courage and determination, backing herself and giving her goal everything she had. She showed incredible grit and heart, reminding us that sometimes the bravest thing is simply daring to go for it. So proud of her for putting it all on the line!

🏃‍♀️ Madison smashed out a super half in New Hartford right in the middle of her marathon build, trusting the process, listening to Coach Chris and putting the work into practice. A great reminder that consistency, patience and backing your coach can make all the difference

What makes these girls so inspiring is that they’re juggling jobs, studies and life while continuing to chase big goals and push their limits 🔥

They’re proof that being busy doesn’t mean putting your dreams on hold. Their dedication, resilience and commitment are setting an incredible example for the next generation of PACE girls. We’re so proud of you and love watching you continue to strive! 💪✨

💚 NQ CHAMPS, PACE PROUD! ❤

What a weekend for our PACE kids! 🔥

Every single one delivered. Some ran **PBs**, some set **RECORDS**, many showed they are well and truly on the road back from injury, illness or time away from racing, and lots are now potentially in the mix for **Queensland selection for Nationals**. Most importantly, they all showed the **sportsmanship and respect** that we love to see from our PACE kids. ✨

Well done, PACE kids! 🔥🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Thank you to all the amazing volunteers who make these championships as special as they are

🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ Queensland School Sport XC – Nationals! 🏃🏃‍♀️

What an experience for Halle, Parker and Ethan, who all earned their place on the Queensland School Sport Cross Country Team and headed to Sydney to compete at the National School Sport Cross Country Championships.

All three ran super in their individual races, taking on some of the best school-aged cross-country runners from around Australia and doing themselves, their families and Queensland proud. 👏

But then came the relay … and they were even more super! 🔥

Running for Queensland, the three helped their teams to **team and relay medals**, finishing their Nationals experience with some very special moments to celebrate. 🥇🥈

There is something pretty special about seeing our Pace kids step onto a national stage, compete individually, then come together as a team and race for something bigger than themselves.

Halle, Parker and Ethan, what an achievement! We are incredibly proud of you all.

Another reminder that it really is **more than running**. The opportunities, friendships, experiences and memories that come from this sport are pretty special.

Once a Pace kid, always a Pace kid🏃‍♀️❤🏃‍♂️
