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 they will have helium balloons attached to them with the pace time and distance clearly marked on it.
We have pace runners for the 42.2km, 21.1km and 10km events.
