Pacers/Training
Thank-You to all Pace Bunnies!!!!
Get Cracking Pace Bunnies are individuals who have a goal to finish their race in a specific time and therefore will pace accordingly. Our pace bunnies will be identified and their time posted on their back. All pacers will keep a constant pace and will not be following a 10:1 system.
If you would like to become a pace bunny please let us know by emailing info@princeedwardislandmarathon.com
