Pace Runners

Pace Runners will be there throughout the event in the marathon, half marathon and 10km distances to help you achieve your running goals. 

If you have a set time in mind that you would like to achieve, then our Pace Runners will play a huge part in your race!

Pace Runners can be identified by high visibility yellow PACER singlets and a coloured balloon attached to them with the goal time and distance clearly marked on it.

We have pace runners for the 42.2km, 21.1km and 10km events.
