Tell us your best pacing experience.

The first year I paced the St Lukes Half, a father who was like 65+ was running with his daughter 35+ and they stayed with me the whole race. Watching them cross the finish together brought tears to my eyes.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

People who want to have fun. I tell people we are the Party Pace. The back of the pack runners getting the most out of our entry fee.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Bring snacks! You cant have a party without snacks.
