PACE TEAM

Our Pace Team is an extension of our volunteer team.

A pacer is an experienced runner who will run at an even effort/pace for the duration of the event to finish at a target time while encouraging other runners along the way.

A limited number of places in the Pace Team for the 5km and Marathon are still available for 2026.
