Pace Team
The Running Room Pace Team provides a pace runner for a group of runners who share the same goal to finish the IMT Des Moines Marathon & Half Marathon within a specified time. The group is led by an experienced distance runner (i.e., Pace Team Leader) who acts as a moving coach throughout the race.
The goal of the Pacer Team Leader is to help the members of his/her team achieve the finish time goal by creating a team atmosphere and offering encouragement and advice. Because each Pace Team Leader has the capability of finishing the event faster than their specific finish time goal, they will devote their extra energy to assisting the members of their team.
Whether you’re running your first marathon or you or 100th, you can benefit from the support the Running Room Pace Team adds to the IMT Des Moines Marathon.

Course Information
IMT Des Moines Marathon athletes who wish to use their own pacer must have that person register for the race they will be pacing in. If a personal pacer does not have a race number/bib or a Sportag™ timing device, they will be removed from the course by race officials and the registered athlete may face disqualification from the race pending a review by USATF officials.
Stop by the Running Room Pace Team booth at the Scheels Sports & Fitness Expo on Friday, October 14 from 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. or Saturday, October 15 from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. to sign up and get information provided by the Pace Team Leaders.
Although sign up is not required, it is appreciated so that the Running Room Pacer Team Leaders have some idea of the number of runners to expect in their group before the start of the race. It is a great chance to say hello at the Expo and get answers to any last minute questions that you may have.
There is no cost for registered runners to join the Running Room Pace Team.
