    As you may or may not know, many of the marathons and half-marathons in Ireland recruit their pacers via boards.ie, usually one of our posters who knows the race director is responsible for recruiting and organising the pacers. This thread is for people who are organising pacers for specific races to advertise the available slots to users of the main forum.

    If you're interested in pacing an advertised race and don't currently have access to the pacers forum send a pm to one of the mods - ecoli, Woddle or RayCun to gain access and pm the poster who is organising that race to declare your interest.

    There are generally qualification times needed to run particular pace bands, though exceptions can be made depending on the history/abilities of the person who is offering to pace and how familiar the organiser is with you, so even if you fall outside the 'qualification' time you may still be recruited to pace. If you're interested in pacing a race make yourself known. For example, someone who can run 1:30ish off the bike in a HIM but has a standalone half marathon pb of 1:25 can still pace 90 minutes or someone who has a half marathon pb of 1:50 but has more recently run a 75 minute 10 mile can pace 2 hours etc

    Half-marathon:
    2:00 - pb of 1:45
    1:50 - pb of 1:38
    1:45 - pb of 1:35
    1:40 - pb of 1:30
    1:30 - pb of 1:22


    Marathon:
    4:30 - pb of 4:00
    4:15 - pb of 3:45
    4:00 - pb of 3:30
    3:45 - pb of 3:19
    3:30 - pb of 3:06
    3:15 - pb of 2:56
    3:00 - pb of 2:48

    Surprised no 5 hour pacers this year - would have been lost without them last year :)

    Great - they fulfill a great role for the slower amongst us. That said, really hope not to be too near them this year !
