A Shoutout to our Pacers

Pacing is more than just running at a fixed speed. It’s about encouragement, teamwork, and helping others achieve something they once thought was out of reach.

We’d like to also take a moment to recognise and thank our pacers for dedicating the past 6 to 12 weeks to train, prepare, and support fellow runners in this special all-women’s event. Your spirit truly embodies what running together is all about.

Run Strong, Run Together

As race day approaches, we wish all runners the very best!

Trust your training, pace yourself wisely, and most importantly to enjoy every moment on the road.

See you at the start line!
