DID YOU KNOW? IRun paces most of the races in South Florida By: Hector Arana I n 2013 the iRun runners had the privilege of pacing most of South Florida 5K, 10K and Half Marathons including the Southernmost Marathon in Key West, Miami Beach 13.1, Turkey Trot 5K/10K, ALS 5K/10K, and the Halloween Half Marathon among others. You may ask: why pacers? Because for the most part, we runners sometimes stress out before and during the race about our desired finishing time and this could have a big impact on our race results, thats why we take care of pacing. It’s also a great way for us to giveback to the running community, there’s no better feeling than crossing the finish line with a group of runners that you help set their Personal Record.
