When it comes to race day, one of the most valuable resources for runners is an official pacer. Whether you're aiming for a personal best, a specific time goal, or just trying to finish strong, race pacers are there to guide you through every mile and help you achieve your objectives.

But what exactly does a pacer do, and why should you consider running with one in your next race? Let’s take a closer look at the role of pacers and how they contribute to a runner's success.

At Mount Olive Running Club, we understand that every runner’s journey is different. Whether you’re just starting out or training for your next race, it’s easy to feel like you’re doing it all alone. But working with a coach can change that. It’s not just about following a plan—it’s about having the right guidance, support, and motivation to unlock your full potential.
