For the half marathon, pacers will be available for 5 different time slots:

The pacers will be recognizable by their t-shirt and flag (showing the time slot).
In collaboration with Het Pacingteam.

What’s a Pacer:

A pacer is someone who gives up their own race time to try to help others get under a specific time. The pacers (at least 2 at each time slot) will run the race at an even pace and finish the race just under their predicted time. This helps you finish at your desired time. You don't have to think too hard about your pace. In fact, the only thing you have to worry about is keeping up with your pacer.
