Pace Team FAQ

* Who are the Pace Leaders?
All PacWest pacers are experienced runners, having trained in PacWest’s run program in San Francisco, Marin County, Oakland or San Jose.  Each pacer is capable of running 10-15 minutes faster than the time they are pacing. This allows them the ability to comfortably direct, instruct and motivate runners throughout the race.

* Why run with a Pace Leader?
Following a pace leader eliminates any guesswork and / or race strategy.  Runners looking for a PR (personal record) or those who simply have trouble pacing themselves over 13.1 miles benefit the most from running with a pacer.

* What is the Pace Team strategy?
All PacWest pace leaders will maintain a consistent, even effort pace throughout the race.  Because of the mass start and the crowd of runners, the first mile may not be the most accurate.  However, rest assure, your pace leader will make-up any time difference gradually throughout the 13.1 mile course.

* Do Pace Leaders provide support during the race?
Thick of the pace leader as your personal coach on the run!  Pacers are great about offering advice and helping you make adjustments in order to stay on pace.  Your pace leader might be a story teller, stand-up comedian, or simply a great motivator.  The goal is to get you across the finish line, on time!

* How do I find the Pace Leader on race day?
On race day your pace leader will be lined up in the carrels with the rest of the runners.  Look for the bright sign attached to a stick (see picture above).  Pace leaders will be carrying this visible signage throughout the race.  Also, look for other runners wearing a special color-coded pace team bib on the back of their shirt.

* How do I sign up for the Pace Team?
It’s FREE.  Simply drop by the PacWest booth at the pre-race expo and pick up a special color-coded bib with your pace finishing time: 1:30, 1:40, 1:50, 2:00, 2:10, 2:20, 2:30, 2:45.
