The Official Pace Team of the Philadelphia Marathon
Register for the CLIF BAR Pace Team
Like to run with someone who will help you set and keep your pace? Run with the CLIF BAR Pace Team, where you’ll find a leader who knows how to keep even time splits, can help you finish within two minutes under chip time and, most of all, a leader who motivates a group through camaraderie and shared goals.
Throughout the marathon, each Pace Leader will run even splits (every mile will be run in the same amount of time). Just follow your Pace Team leader and you'll cross the line in under two minutes of your goal finishing time. During the race, your Pace Team leader will also remind you to drink and eat, and offer words of encouragement when the going gets tough.
Finish times for this last year’s Pace Groups include: 3:10,
3:20, 3:30, 3:40, 3:50, 4:00, 4:15, 4:30, 5:00, and 5:30. Participation
is free and registration is open to all runners in the Philadelphia Marathon and Half Marathon. Register
online and receive a free CLIF BAR Training Kit which includes product samples
along with some helpful training and race-day nutritional tips.
AT THE HEALTH & FITNESS EXPO
Drop by the CLIF BAR booth. Pace Leaders will distribute free Pace Team packets and your Pace Band, which is another way to view the mile splits you’ll need to meet your goal time.
Meet Your Pacer: Pace Team leaders run more marathons in a year than most people run in their lifetimes. So chat with them before race time. Get tips on how to stay motivated throughout the race. Get suggestions about strategy. Then, get ready to run.
Race Day: During the Expo, you’ll get instructions on where to meet on race day. On race day, just look for the colorful balloons and signs indicating each pace group and finish times and fall in with your group. That's it! No check in, no sign in. Just meet your group and follow your Pace Leader to your best marathon ever!
