Ideally, stop by the Pace Team booth at the Monumental Health and Fitness Expo and meet your pacer and pick up a special bib number with your goal pace. All you really need to do is look for your designated pacer on race morning holding a sign with your goal time.

The amount of training necessary to run the pace and a great attitude to help fuel your pace team with energy. There is no monetary cost.

Your pacer will be holding a sign outside the corral with your goal pace. They will be in order so if you can find one you will be able to move forward or back until you find you magic pace. Marathon paces covered will be, at minimum: 3:05, 3:10, 3:15, 3:25, 3:30, 3:35, 3:40, 3:45, 3:50, 3:55, 4:00, 4:15, 4:30, 4:45, 5:00, 6:00, 6:33. Half marathon paces covered will be, at a minimum: 1:30, 1:35, 1:40, 1:45, 1:50, 1:55, 2:00, 2:10, 2:20, 2:30 and a 15:00 pace sweeper through 10M. Other paces may be available as interest and amount of pacesetters allow.

We hope not. We hope that the pacing helps you feel so strong at the end you are able to finish faster than goal pace. Use the pace team as a target. You may want to start slower and gradually catch them and then speed up at the end. The entire purpose of the pace team is to help you have your best race.
