Why use pacers?
The FLeet Feet Pace Team Powered by ON will meet you at the Start Line and get you to the Finish Line!
Pacers are at the starting line with a focus on YOUR needs. First, the pressure of calculating the pace is removed — the pacer will keep a steady pace — no starting off too fast. Advice and encouragement are the benefits to running with the pacers. Pacers are experienced runners (many are coaches) who want to give back to the running community — it is a voluntary position so they are here to share their love for the sport and help the runner achieve their goals. Pacers will help keep the runners and walkers motivated through conversation, stories, and/or sage advice. Lastly, it is fun to run with a group and meet others who share your goals!
Come visit our Pacers and get all of you questions answered at the race expo in the Fleet Feet booth. Our fantastic pace team will be able to get you ready for race day!

Which pace group?
When choosing a pace group, consider your training pace — your longest run each week is usually run a minute to a minute and a half slower per mile than your race pace. Use a pace calculator and figure out what your race pace should be — then choose a group accordingly. During the race you can move to a slower/faster group depending upon your needs.
Where to find the pacers on race morning?
The Pace Leaders will assemble at the Start Line and will be holding their pace sign with the expected finish time and will be wearing pacing shirts.
