Robles and Harper victorious in last race for the 2005… December 17, 2005--St.Croix, Virgin Islands--Between the Virgin Islands Pace Runners in St. Croix and the STAR (the St. Thomas Association of Runners) there are over sixty road races and cross-country races conducted in the Virgin Islands annually. The Land Sharks in St. John host a couple of road races and counting events conducted by community organizations, it is fair to say that running is alive and well in the Territory. “More people are into the fitness mode now”, according to Wallace Williams, Founder of the Virgin Islands Pace Runners. “The motto for V.I. Pace 25 years ago was run for fun, run for health, run for life”. We held fitness runs on Saturday mornings at the College of the Virgin Islands in partnership with the 4-H program”. With the coming of the St.Croix Bike Path, planned by Cruzan Bikeways for the south shore, we will finally have a safe and scenic place for people exercise out of the path of motor vehicles. We’ve come a long way.”

Jules and Harper win last V.I. Pace Runners event of the year… 12-19-04--St. Croix, Virgin Islands--As a top long distance runner in the Virgin Islands for many years, George Jules reached a point where he lost the motivation to continue with the hard training required to stay at the top.
