About

Pacers
The event utilizes pace groups indicated on the start day (Renntag) by Startwelle (target times per wave). Pacers may wear a visible pacer flag or number; if you are following a pacer, stay with your pacer’s group and expect them to maintain a steady, race-effort pace for your target time.
