Do you have experience running or walking marathons or half marathons and have a passion for sharing your knowledge and experiences with others?

We are currently looking for experienced runners and walkers to become Pace Group Leaders for our Full and Half Marathon training programs. Our premium programs would not be possible without our Pace Group Leaders!  If you have a passion for helping other achieve their personal athletic goals in a positive, organized and fun environment, and love Fleet Feet Nashville, then consider being a Pace Group Leader.

What is a Pace Group Leader?
A Pace Group Leader (or pacer) is a valuable resource to our training program participants and an "on the road" representative of Fleet Feet Nashville.  Their main responsibilities include: providing support and guidance to their group, offering positive energy and a positive attitude to the group, on-road safety support, keeping an assigned approximate pace or intervals while walking or running, and educating participants about the benefits that Fleet Feet Nashville offers. A pacer is a training tool for the participants as they can provide personal experiences, wisdom, and other general tips when it comes to training for half marathons, full marathons, and other road events.

Pacer Requirements: Has run at least 1 marathon (Marathon Pace Group Leaders) Has run or walked at least 1 half marathon (Half Marathon Pace Group Leaders) Able to attend 80% of group training runs and walks (We encourage 100% attendance but missing up to 3 sessions is permissible.)
