Larry Schmidt
Larry started running 16 rears ago at the age of 52. He had reached 198 pounds and his 36″ waist pants were getting tight. He refused to weigh 200 and started running (which he hadn’t done since high school). In 2020, Larry ran over 2000 miles!
Larry moved to Hot Springs from Wisconsin in 2008 and found out about The Spa Pacers the following year. He joined in 2010 and hasn’t looked back. He is on the Spa Pacers Board of Directors, he leads group runs on Monday and Tuesday evenings, he coaches clinics, and he is an avid racer.
“Everything I have and everything I am I owe to the wonderful friends I’ve met as a member of the Spa Pacers. I can’t imagine a better group of people anyplace. I am blessed.” – Larry
