Prediction Run Schedule
The Plano Pacers prediction run is a monthly group 5K held at the Schimelpfenig Library parking lot in Plano, one block south of Spring Creek on the east side of Custer. Participants predict their finish time in advance and run without watches to test pacing and accuracy.
The winner for each event is the person whose actual time is closest to their predicted time. Ribbons are awarded to the top 20 finishers each month, and there are additional awards for the best results across the year. An early start is available for participants who need more time to complete the 5K, for example those expecting around 40 minutes.
The event is offered at no charge for members and non members. The schedule for 2026 follows the second Tuesday pattern with the dates for the year as listed: January 13, February 10, March 10, April 14, May 12, June 9, July 14, August 11, September 8, October 13, November 10, December 8.
Course details and recent results are maintained by the organizer. The format emphasizes pacing skills and comparison of predicted versus actual performance rather than time trial competition. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
