You Are a PACER, Not a RACER

It’s their race, not yours#

• It’s not your race: today is not your day to shine. You are here to support others, not to compete.
• Fuelling dreams: every step you take fuels someone else’s dream. This is their race, not yours.
• Guides, not competitors: pacers are not rivals; they are guides who help runners achieve their goals and create unforgettable memories.
• Plan and execute: stick to your assigned pace, which has been determined during pacer training by your team and coach, based on the route and terrain.
• Be positive: be a beacon of positivity, not just a metronome. Your smile and encouragement can lift others’ spirits.
• Support and motivate: support and motivate your team and all runners on the course. Your support is especially valuable for first-time marathoners.

You are more than just a timer#

You are more than just a timer – you are a cheerleader and a running expert.

• For a few hours, pacers are the heroes of those they pace. People look up to you and wonder how you can run so easily.
• You show runners the right speed to reach the finish line happily and with the least possible effort.
• You are the runner’s friend on the course, boosting their spirits and cheering them on.
• You make runners feel strong and unstoppable!
