Pace runner criteria
 and
application form

If you have a desire to complete the Half Marathon or Marathon within a certain time frame it is highly likely a PatCarrollOnline pace runner will be able to assist you greatly. The pace runner facility is offered free to all participants. 

PatCarrollOnline pace runners will do their best to maintain an even pace throughout the entire race with the aim to have you finishing slightly faster (30sec or so) than the pace groups relevant target time. 

Each pace group will have two (A & B) PatCarrollOnline pace runners:

A: Pacer runner positioned at the front of the pace group.
B: Pace runner positioned at the rear of the group and also a back up pacer should the A pacer falter.
 

Pace groups:

  • Half Marathon: 1.20/ 1.30/ 1.40/ 1.50/ 2hrs 2.10 2.20

  • Marathon: 2.20/3hrs/3.15 /3.30 /3.45 /4hrs /4.15 4.30 

Find out who this years pace runners are here.
   _________________________________________

Runners have the option to register for a pace group at either: 

  • Brisbane registration centre

  • Gold Cost Airport Marathon Expo (PatCarrollOnline booth)  

Registration is not compulsory however this does allow us to keep track of how successful the pace runner concept is. All runners who register will receive a wrist band with km splits noted. 

PatCarrollOnline pace runners will be assembled in the start area 15min prior to race start and will be holding a large sign depicting the relevant finish time they will be achieving. There will also be stationary signs at various points at the sides of the start area.

PatCarrollOnline pace runners will be identifiable throughout the race via their PatCarrollOnline pace runner singlets and also by large helium balloons that they will be carrying. 

PatCarrollOnline pace runners will offer encouragement to runners throughout the race. 

I wish you all the best with your preparation for the Half Marathon or Marathon and please feel free to take advantage of the services offered by a PatCarrollOnline pace runner on race day.

If you need help with your preparation: I can assist.

Cheers
