Meet Azusa Pacers Founder/President:  Maria Delgadillo

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH THE PACERS? I joined the Pacers in the fall of 2017.

WHY DID YOU JOIN OUR AMAZING CLUB? Because my friend knew that my goal was to run a full marathon and told me that the Pacers were going to start their marathon training.

TELL US ABOUT AN AMAZING PACER MEMORY:  A memory that I will forever cherish in my heart, was finally running my very first L.A. Marathon, and all the love & cheers I received at MILE 20 from the Pacer family. It was so emotional & so very special.  I still get tears thinking about it.

WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BEST THING ABOUT THE PACERS?  The friendships developed.  It goes beyond being a running club, it’s the people you meet, they quickly become part of your family.

TELL THE FOLKS WHY THEY SHOULD START RUNNING:  Take it from me, running was not my thing, I was not a runner, I couldn’t even run a mile! Seeing my friends run, motivated me to start running, so if I can, SO CAN YOU!

LONGEST DISTANCE:  26.2

AVERAGE PACE: 9.5 min

FAVORITE FOOD:  Tacos

FAMILY:  2 beautiful daughters, and a loving husband
