Find out how to take on the TCS London Marathon for charity 
 

Pace Team

Our TCS London Marathon pacers are a group of friendly runners of all backgrounds and abilities to help you achieve your marathon goals.

Whether you are taking on your first marathon or fiftieth, pacers can play a pivotal role in helping you conquer the 26.2-mile distance.

Pacers complete the course at a managed pace and finish within a certain, predesignated time. The aim of this is to help those around them know their own speed and – if they can maintain the pace – finish within the same time.

But pacers are more than just timekeepers. They also offer words of encouragement and inspire you to cross the Finish Line with a smile on your face. 

 

Pacers at the TCS London Marathon

How do you spot a pacer? And what are their finish times?

If you’d like to follow a pacer they should be easy to spot – each one will have a tall, bright flag attached to their back, which will clearly display their finish time. Pacers cover finish times from three hours up to seven-and-a-half hours. You can see the pacers in your Assembly Area below.

About the 2024 team

Our pace team will consist of 137 supportive, dedicated runners – the most we’ve ever had in a single year. Of these, 34 per cent of the team are female pacers and over a quarter of the team (31 per cent) are from less-represented communities, including the LGBTQIA family. This is a notable increase on the number of pacers we had from less represented communities (27 per cent) in 2022.

We are an international team from 25 countries across 5 continents - representing the international reach and communities associated with the TCS London Marathon. What’s more, almost a third of this year’s team will be pacing the TCS London Marathon for the first time bringing fresh energy to the course on Marathon Day.

Our pacers also prove that age is irrelevant when it comes to running, with our 2024 team featuring pacers aged 21 to 65!
