Pacers
Our pacers help you keep time and speed for your goal. Each pacer will have a flag that you can easily follow around the race. The flag is marked with an end time. Marking 4:00 means that the pacer will complete the marathon in 4 hours. This year we will also have pace setters for the half marathon.
