Richmond marathon and half marathon pacers needed

Every year the RRRC recruits and organizes the pace group leaders for the Richmond marathon. This year, for the first time, Sportsbackers will also be offering pace groups for the half marathon, so we are recruiting pace group leaders for that as well.

I am looking for pace group leaders for the following finish times:

Marathon - 3:00, 3:05, 3:10, 3:15, 3:35, and 5:00

Half marathon - 1:30, 1:35, 1:40: 1:45, 1:50, 2:00, 2:30

• Experienced runners who can finish a marathon at least 15 minutes faster (or a half at least 7-10 minutes faster) than the time they plan to pace at a consistent pace , and
• Are generally upbeat and willing to offer encouragement and advice throughout the race.

• Complimentary registration for the race
• A pacer shirt to race in so your loyal pacees can easily keep track of you
• The satisfaction of helping your fellow runners achieve their race goals

If you're interested, please let me know the group you'd like to pace and a BRIEF summary of your experience. I can be reached at mccarthykaren@comcast.net. Feel free to forward this info to anyone who may be interested. Thanks!
