About the Event
Think Spring Run De Pere by On Pace
On Pace puts on two races each year – Run De Pere on the West side in November and Think Spring in April on the East side. We are happy to give both sides of De Pere some major On Pace love!
Think Spring half marathon athletes will begin from De Pere Middle School and take in the peaceful beauty of the countryside before meeting up with the Fox River Trail and heading back toward town. A few miles along the Fox will bring runners through the St. Norbert Abbey, and back to De Pere Middle School for an epic finish and post-race extravaganza.
Those rocking the 5k will take off in a similar direction with a shorter loop back and around to the school where the same fun awaits them at the finish.
Bringing All The Great Attributes of Runs into One Race
The team at OnPace has seen the good, the bad and the ugly of races across the country. From those experiences we work hard to take all the good aspects and bring them to our community into one great race! That’s why Think Spring has so much included with each registration.
