OUR PACING TEAM

Pacers are experienced runners who set a consistent pace for participants in a race, helping them achieve their desired finish times. They guide runners along the course, provide motivation and encouragement, offer practical support, and foster a sense of community among participants. Their role is essential in ensuring a successful and enjoyable running event.

 We aim to supply pacers for the 14km segment of the run between Dee Why and Newport.

These pacers will assist you in achieving target paces of:

• 4:00min/km
• 4:30min/km
• 5:00min/km
• 5:30min/km
• 6:00min/km
• 6:30min/km

Objectives

Below are the objectives that we try to achieve with our PACING TEAM 

1. Setting the Pace: Pacers are responsible for maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race. By adhering closely to the set target times, pacers help runners gauge their speed and ensure they don’t start too fast or slow.
2. Guiding Participants: Pacers serve as guides on the course, leading runners along the designated route. They are familiar with the course terrain, elevation changes, and potential challenges, providing valuable insights to participants. This guidance helps runners conserve energy and stay mentally focused.
3. Motivating and Encouraging Runners: Pacers offer encouragement and motivation to participants throughout the race. Their aim is to boost morale and inspire runners to push through difficult moments. Whether it’s offering words of encouragement, sharing personal anecdotes, or cheering on participants, pacers play a key role in fostering a supportive and positive race environment.
4. Creating a Sense of Community: Pacers help foster a sense of camaraderie among participants. As experienced runners who are passionate about the sport, they serve as role models and mentors. Our Pacers’ roles are to engage with runners, share stories, offer advice, and build connections that extend beyond the race itself.
