Pace & Pages Reading Group

A unique gathering where intellectual stamina meets physical discipline. Our runners meet every Sunday evening to read, review, and exchange books.

Weekly Sunday Meets

Every Sunday evening, we gather at a designated local park or quiet cafe in Gandhinagar. We dedicate time to quiet reading, followed by active discussions on our latest reads.

Share your favorite literature across runner biographies, personal development, history, and fiction. Swap books within our community library and get recommendations.

Core Philosophy

"Running and reading are my two greatest pastimes." Inspired by Haruki Murakami's philosophy, we believe training the mind is just as vital as training the body.

CRG Seva

Running for a cause. We recently launched **CRG Seva**, a community initiative to support the poor and less privileged in and around Gandhinagar through essential donations.

Our Donation Guidelines

As a first step of CRG Seva, we are collecting essential items under strict quality controls to ensure dignity for the recipients:

  • What we collect: All kinds of clean, wearable clothes (shirts, pants, t-shirts, shorts, children's wear, sarees, bed sheets, etc.). No innerwear please.
  • Condition: Clothes must not be torn and must be in wearable condition. They should be washed clean, ironed, and folded. If these conditions are not met, they will not be accepted.
  • How to handover: Hand them over directly to your neighborhood Seva Leads listed here, or bring them to any of our weekly activity days.
