WHAT’S YOUR
PACING TIME?

Choose a finish time that is comfortably within your ability. You need to have enough in reserve to look after your group. Each time shows how many pacers we need and how many are already confirmed.

Applications for 2027 are open. The team count is updated when a pacer is personally confirmed. Applying does not reserve a place.

YOUR PLACE IN THE LG PACING TEAM

APPLY TO
BE A PACER.

Choose your preferred time and tell us a little about your experience. The organisers will find the best fit for you and the team.

From application to team

1. You apply.
Your distance, target time and experience are all in one application.

2. We get in touch.
We review your experience and the team for your preferred time.

3. You receive confirmation.
Only then is your place confirmed. If the team is full, we can discuss a reserve place or another time.

After confirmation, we will arrange your clothing size, your friend’s entry and your briefing.

We use your details to process your pacer application and contact you about it. Read our privacy policy.

YOUR PACING EQUIPMENT

YOU CARRY
THE FLAG.

You run with a flag attached to a backpack. Your target time stays visible above the group, leaving your hands free to run comfortably and guide your runners.

In the photo: a pacer at a previous KPMG Lentemarathon. You can see the flag above the shoulder and the straps of the backpack.

We will arrange your pacing equipment and practical details with you before the event.

QUESTIONS ABOUT
BECOMING A PACER?

Does applying guarantee me a place as a pacer?

No. The organisers review your preference and experience. Your place is only confirmed after you receive a personal confirmation.

The team for my preferred time is full. What now?

You can apply for a reserve place. Let us know if you can also pace another time, and we will discuss the options with you.

I am confirmed but can no longer take part. What should I do?

Let the organisers know as soon as possible via Contact & FAQs. Include your name, distance and target time so we can arrange a replacement.

TAKING PART AS A RUNNER?

YOUR GOAL.
YOUR PACER.

A pacer from the LG Pacing Team runs towards a set finish time, keeps a steady pace and encourages the group. They give you a rhythm to follow as you run your own race. Here’s how to join them.

Choose a realistic goal

Use your training and recent race results as a guide. Choose a realistic target from the times on this page so you can start comfortably.

Look for the flag

Find the pacers in the starting area by the flags above their backpacks. Each flag shows the target time. Stay in the starting wave assigned to your registration.

Run together, listen to yourself

Your pacer keeps an eye on the pace and encourages you. Keep listening to your body and adjust your pace if you need to.

You do not need to sign up separately to run with a pacing group. The form above is for runners who want to become pacers. You do need a race entry for your distance. A full pacer team does not mean the group is closed to runners.
