The 2027 Pace Teams promise to provide fun and excitement for both first-time and experienced participants looking to reach their running goals – whether that’s a personal best or just getting across the finish line.
The Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic Race Weekend will include Pace Teams for the following races:
Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic 15K
Publix Gasparilla Distance Classic 5K
Publix Gasparilla Half Marathon
Publix Gasparilla 8K
After choosing a pace that is suitable for your desired finish time, you will be able to find one of the Pace Team members who will run the race with you. 30 minutes before the Start of the race, your Pacer will hold a sign indicating your desired pace. Find them and get to know them. They will be able to help you significantly throughout the course. You will have time to stretch near your Pacer while they introduce themselves.
