Pace Groups: The Richmond Marathon offers Pace Groups for those who are interested. Each group will have a Pace Leader that will help you reach the goal time. They range in goals from 3:10 up to five hours. This is a free service, and can help you during the race. You can sign up online or just get a number at the expo.
If you have not done a pace group before, they ask the runners to pin a special number on their back (they provide it) that shows the goal time of the pace group. For example 4:30. This allows everyone to easily find the pace group just by looking at the back of other runners.
Chances are you may run with someone else from our group, or hopefully meet some on the Richmond team when we do our 20-miler. You may just want to run with them, or you can join a pace team.
Bus Tours: The Marathon also offers Bus Tours of the course on Friday. This is also free, but is limited. I will leave this decision to you. If you join us in Richmond for our 20-mile training run, you will already have seen most of the course, but if you still want to do the bus tour, I would sign up now, because it fills up every year.
