marathon pacers

Marathon pacers are experienced runners who help participants maintain a consistent pace during a marathon. They run at a specific speed to guide others aiming for a particular finish time, such as 4 hours or 5 hours. Pacers often carry signs indicating their target time and provide encouragement, pacing advice, and motivation throughout the race. By following a pacer, runners can better manage their energy and improve their chances of reaching their goal time, making the marathon experience more enjoyable and structured.
