In distance running events, Pacers play a crucial role, acting as guides and motivators for other participants. These experienced runners are appointed to maintain a consistent and predetermined pace throughout the race, helping runners achieve their desired race time or personal bests by avoiding the common pitfalls during a race. They serve as beacons of encouragement, providing valuable support and motivation, especially during challenging moments. Pacers not only assist runners in the physical aspects of an endurance race but also contribute to the mental aspect, inspiring runners to push past their limits and stay focused on their goal of crossing the finish line safely and within their desired time targets.
