Pace Groups Help You Reach Your Goal

For the first time, the City of Oaks Marathon and Rex Healthcare Half Marathon will pace you to your race goal!

Join one of four marathon pace groups or six half-marathon pace groups on race day and take the guesswork out of your finishing time. Organized of the North Carolina Road Runners Club, pace groups leaders will guide you mile by mile and keep you on track to reach your goal time.

Groups are available for these goal times:

Marathon:

• 4:00
• 4:15
• 4:30
• 4:45

Half Marathon:

• 1:40
• 1:50
• 2:00
• 2:10
• 2:20
• 2:30

To join a pace group, look for the NCRC Pace Team booth at the visitRaleigh.com Health & Fitness Expo or find them at the start area on race day. Group volunteers will be wearing bright yellow Pace Leader shirts and will clearly advertise their respective goal paces.
