Payment Pacers Run – September 2026

Join The Payments Association members for the inaugural Payment Pacers, our new monthly social running club designed to bring the payments community together through fitness, networking and conversation.

We’ll meet at The Payments Association office at 6:00 pm before heading out on a relaxed 5 km run around the City of London. Afterwards, we’ll return to the office to collect our belongings before continuing the evening with informal networking over drinks and light refreshments.

Whether you’re training for your next race or simply looking to meet other members in a different setting, Payment Pacers is open to runners of all abilities.
