What’s the point of pacers?
Whether you’re taking on your first half marathon or marathon – or are out to raise funds or accomplish a fast time – pacers can play a key role in helping you conquer your distance.
Pacers are experienced runners who complete the course at a managed pace and finish within a certain, predesignated time. The aim of this is to help other participants around them know their own speed and – if they can maintain the pace – finish within the same time.
But pacers are more than just timekeepers. They can also be there to offer words of encouragement and (perhaps quite literally) a helping hand if things get tough on the course and inspire you to cross the Finish Line with a smile on your face.
How to find our pacers?
Worried you won’t spot our pacers within the crowds? Fear not. Each pacer will be easy to identify thanks to the tall, bright flag attached to their back, which will clearly display the time they’ll be running. They’ll also be dressed eye-catching T-shirts.
A minimum of two pacers will run each finishing time. You do not have to register in advance to run with the pacers.
