Why we run

Strangers turn into a community

The Pace Project Goa started in October 2025 with one idea: introduce people to running. Not fast people. Not "runners". People. The ones who kept saying they'd start on Monday.

Every Sunday we meet before sunrise on the beach roads of South Goa and run together. First-timers turn nerves into finishes. Familiar faces chase new PBs. Different distances, one community. Then there's coffee, donuts, and the odd rave rolling through the village on a DJ truck.

Before joining a run club, your mind can be full of doubts. What if I'm not fast enough? What if I don't fit in? The only way to grow is to step outside your comfort zone. That's where confidence, strength and growth are built. — The Pace Project Goa, on Instagram

Every pace, every age

Walk-run, 6:00/km or sub-5 — you'll find your group. Kids run with us too.

Show up on Sunday

Consistency beats intensity. One sunrise run a week is how it starts.

Make it a vibe

Music, food stalls, hikes, beach HIIT. Fitness that doesn't feel like a chore.

FAQ

Ever wanted to join a run club but overthought it?

Do I need to be fast?
No. Walk-run, 7:00/km, sub-5: every pace has a group and nobody gets left behind. Most of the club runs easy conversation pace.
How do I join?
Fill in the club form, follow @thepaceprojectgoa for the weekly meeting point, and show up on Sunday. You can also RSVP to runs on the Endorfin app.
What does it cost?
Sunday community runs are free and open to everyone. Coaching programs, race prep and 1-on-1 sessions with our certified coaches are paid; DM the club on Instagram for details.
When and where do you meet?
Sundays, before sunrise, in South Goa. The exact meeting point and distance options are posted on Instagram stories a few days before each run. Big events like Run Rave are announced on the feed.
What should I bring?
Running shoes, a bottle of water, and a sense of humour. Hydration is sorted on most runs thanks to our partners. Kids are welcome on shorter loops with a parent.
Can I bring my dog?
The club has an unofficial four-legged mascot already. Keep them leashed, keep them happy, and they'll be the most photographed runner on the route.
I'm visiting Goa for a weekend. Can I drop in?
Yes. Plenty of runners join once while they're in town. Check the story for the meeting point and come say hi.
