Performance Trail Running Clinics

Our run clinics help inspire, motivate and educate our community, through a welcoming & inclusive environment that encourages runners to reach their goals. You'll improve your speed, strength, stamina and endurance and learn more about training, racing, recovery, nutrition and more.

We will have different groups assigned to run leaders that will lead you through different long runs on specific Sundays. Wednesdays offer a variety of speed, strength and stamina workouts that are lead by professional running coach Rene Unser.

Our clinics are more than just a place to run. They are where friendships turn into family and together our community supports one another to reach goals, maximize potential and have fun.

Meet the Coach

Rene Unser has been coaching athletes for almost 2 decades and works with athletes of all levels, from all over the world. 

Prior to coaching, Rene had a successful career in the fitness industry for over 22yrs and motivating others to reach their goals is something that has always come naturally to her.

Rene has always been active and didn't waste any time jumping into endurance sports. Her first triathlon was the Oliver Half Ironman, first trail running race was a 5 day stage race in Thailand and her first mountain bike event was an 8 day stage race called the BC Bike race. Rene shares a passion for stage racing and is most proud of her 3rd place finish in 2016 & 2nd place finish in 2019 (with her partners) in the Transalpine Run and hopes to return for her 10th time at this legendary event, in 2023. 

Meet the TEAM...​
We look forward to running with you! Thank you for considering PACE Trail Runs.
