Becoming a pacer
Pacer Applications are managed by the
Tasmanian Road Runners (TRR).
Pace Group Leaders will be expected to run at an even pace for the entire distance of their event and to offer encouragement and information along the way. Keeping to your allocated pace and communication between yourself and the athletes within your Pace Group is extremely important if everyone is to continue as a group.

**Always follow the directions of police, race officials and emergency service personnel**
Runners MUST follow police and official instructions particularly when directed to use the footpath [as roads are reopened]. Position yourself at the start line according to your ability to allow a smooth start for all participants. Please don’t START at the front of the pack if you can’t FINISH at the front. Try to place yourself accordingly, and be mindful of those around you. Remember—it feels a lot better to overtake, than to be overtaken…
Participants who are walking must start at the rear of the field. It would be appreciated if young children, walkers and people with prams start towards the back of the field
Do not stop or change directions suddenly.
Please KEEP LEFT unless passing. This is really important for a 2 loop track where the front runners will need room to pass. Pleeeease be mindful.
Share the track – please don’t walk/run more than TWO abreast.
Toilets will be available at the Princess Wharf 1 venue, Kennedy Lane (near Smolt), Salamanca Arts Centre lane way (Wooby’s lane), Princes Park – opposite CSIRO main entrance – up the steps.
Please arrive early to avoid the inevitable queues
