The 6th Annual Paladin Pacer features late summer shady trails on Pinecrest Academy’s sprawling 68-acre campus. Be ready for pavement, scenic dirt trails, grass, and hills! While not likely the best opportunity for a PR time, this is guaranteed to be one of the most fun courses close to home. The 1 Mile kids run includes three laps around the school driveway so parents can support their little Olympians throughout the race. The competition can be friendly or fierce (you’ll have your choice of both) as you run or walk with so many athletes, teachers, missionaries and neighbors. Pinecrest cheerleaders and volunteers along the course promise to boost your energy just when you need it. You don’t want to miss this awesome race that is fast-becoming one of Forsyth County’s favorite traditions.

Our Cause

The 5K trail race starts directly in front of Pinecrest’s Lower School gymnasium. The course winds through the parking lot and onto the football field before veering onto the cross country trail. Run two laps on the trail, including a detour through our gorgeous Stations of the Cross trail before heading back to the finish in front of the gymnasium.
