VISION
To build a youth-driven fitness and wellness movement that inspires people to live healthier, more connected, and more intentional lives through community, consistency, inclusivity, and lifestyle experiences.
About
THIS IS PACE US.
PaceUs is a youth-centric running and wellness community built around movement, connection, and culture.
01Who We Are
RUN TOGETHER. GROW TOGETHER.
Founded in Gaborone, Botswana, PaceUs was created to redefine what fitness communities look and feel like for young people. We are more than a running club — we are a movement that blends fitness, lifestyle, wellness, creativity, and community into one shared experience.
At our core, PaceUs exists to create a safe, inclusive and energizing space where people from all walks of life can show up, move freely, and grow together at their own pace.
Whether you are a beginner, casual runner, athlete, creative, or simply someone looking for community — there is a place for you here.
02Vision & Mission
MISSION
To become Botswana's leading youth wellness and running community, creating a culture where movement, connection, and wellbeing are accessible, inspiring, and deeply rooted in community.
03Our Slogan
RUN TOGETHER.
A reflection of everything PaceUs stands for:
- Community over competition
- Growth through consistency
- Movement through togetherness
04Our Four Pillars
WHAT WE STAND ON.
Four things hold the club up. Everything we run, host and build traces back to one of them.
01
COMMUNITY
Community is the heartbeat of PaceUs.
We believe fitness should bring people together, not separate them. PaceUs exists to create genuine human connection through movement, shared experiences, and collective growth.
We are building
- Friendships
- Safe spaces
- Support systems
- A sense of belonging
No one runs alone.
02
CONSISTENCY
We believe progress is built through showing up.
PaceUs encourages sustainable fitness habits through routine, discipline, and accountability — without pressure or perfection.
We celebrate
- Small wins
- Personal growth
- Everyday effort
- Commitment to self-improvement
Slow progress is still progress.
03
INCLUSIVITY
PaceUs is for everyone.
Everyone deserves access to movement, wellness, and community — whatever your pace, fitness level, experience, background, body type or social circle.
Regardless of
- Pace
- Fitness level
- Experience
- Background
- Body type
- Social circles
Your pace belongs here.
04
LIFESTYLE
Fitness is not just an activity — it is a lifestyle.
We are creating a modern wellness culture that feels enjoyable, relatable, social and aspirational.
PaceUs blends
- Running
- Wellness
- Fashion
- Music
- Creativity
- Social experiences
- Youth culture
Fitness meets culture.
05What We Do
EXPERIENCES,
NOT EVENTS.
- Weekly community runs
- Wellness-focused events
- Fitness challenges
- Lifestyle activations
- Brand collaborations
- Social and cultural experiences
- Youth-centered community engagement
Every Saturday
PACE DAY
Our weekly Saturday runs are called Pace Day — 5KM and 10KM out and back from the clubhouse, with a pace bus for every speed.
- People move together
- Friendships are built
- Wellness becomes social
- The community reconnects
Pace Day is not a race, it is a community experience.
Once a month
TRAIL THERAPY
Once a month PaceUs steps away from the road and into nature. Trail Therapy is our run-and-hike experience — a slower, more intentional side of the club, where fitness meets mindfulness, adventure and escape.
- A community run
- Group hikes
- Recovery moments
- Outdoor connection
- Wellness through nature
Moving together, breathing deeper, and disconnecting from pressure through community and nature.
06Culture & Philosophy
Pace Us is built on
- Authenticity
- Positive energy
- Respect
- Self-improvement
- Togetherness
We believe
- Fitness should feel welcoming
- Wellness should feel accessible
- Community should feel genuine
Our philosophy
- You do not need to be the fastest
- You do not need to "look" like a runner
- You do not need to have it all figured out
You simply need to
Show up.
