Pace Groups

Pace groups are organized running or walking groups that move at a consistent speed, helping participants achieve specific finish times in races or workouts. Registrants select a pace group based on their goal time, and a leader runs at that steady pace throughout the event. This structure provides motivation, accountability, and a shared experience, allowing individuals to focus on their performance without constantly checking their watch or worrying about pace fluctuations. Pace groups are popular in races, enabling participants of similar running speeds to train or compete together comfortably.
