Subject: Re: Cleveland Marathon Race Walk Pacer Request
| Hi Jack, I have a request for any of the Buckeye Striders who might be interested in helping me pace at this year's Cleveland Marathon. I am pacing the event for walkers and our goal is to bring walkers and slower runners in under 6 hours. I know it is a little vague compared to regular running pacers but it worked pretty well last year. Last year I was the only pacer for this time frame and usually there are two pacers for each finishing time. The responsibility includes keeping a steady pace for 13.1 miles (either first or second half) or for the entire 26.2 miles. The Marathon is Sunday morning, May 15. It is best if the pacer's normal rate is around the 12:30 to 13 minute mile for a marathon. The benefits are paid entrance to the event, a nice pacer shirt, free parking in the VIP parking area. I would really appreciate it if you could pass my request to your membership. I know there are some fantastic experienced Buckeye Striders and I would love it if I could share the experience with one of them. Please have them contact me at this e-mail or they can call me at 216-496-8156 if interested or if needing more information. walk on, Libby White |
