Marathon Pacers
will run at paces that start at 3 hours. Times are broken
into increments that match the Boston Marathon qualifying times; (e.g. 3:30
pace, 3:35, 3:40, 3:45 pace, etc. Click
here to see the Boston Qualifying Times.)
Please understand that we will try to have at least one pacer for each of
these times but cannot guarantee it. At the marathon start, look for the signs
that show the pace times. The signs will be held high and will be
staggered according to pace (faster times closest to the start line) Your pacer(s) will meet you at the appropriate sign.
Pacers will be wearing special bibs that display their pace time.
All pacers will
pace for the full-marathon times. Since the Long Branch
Half and New Jersey Marathon start at the same time, runners in the Long
Branch Half can join pace teams of those doing the full marathon. E.g.
A runner looking to finish the Long Branch in 2 hours would follow the 4
hour marathon pace team.
By the way, YOU too can be a Pacer

marathons/half marathons (as applicable) you've run. You'll feel terrific knowing that you've helped fellow
runners reach their time goals!! We'll give you a comp entry to the race and

Marathon Weekend a fantastic success!!!
