These are pacemakers that each run at a different pace and help runners achieve new records
After the successful launch of the innovation in the 2018 event, the… hares return to the 13th OPAP Limassol Marathon next March. These are the so-called & nbsp; pacemakers & nbsp; who each run at a different pace, helping the runners who follow them faithfully to achieve an individual record or the performance they desire. The pacemakers run the & nbsp; Half Marathon & nbsp; and the & nbsp; Marathon route & nbsp; of 42,195 meters and are distinguished by the flag they carry on their back, which indicates the route in which they participate and their estimated termination time. & nbsp;
Following a… hare the chances of a runner finishing in the estimated time or even faster are increased, as he will follow the tempo that will allow him to properly distribute his forces. Also, pacemakers encourage and inspire runners during the race, as it is not the easiest thing in the world to run alone for two, three or four hours. They also give advice to a runner on how to get to the finish line in the time he wants.
" The pacemakers are located in all the major races abroad and as our organization develops and gains more and more international prestige, attracting more runners from other countries, we have introduced the element of pacemakers "comments the Race Director Mr. Konstantinos Kyvittis adds: "Last year's experience and the comments of the runners showed that the presence of the pacemakers was very helpful and that many records were broken thanks to them. Thus, we further develop this provision of the OPAP Limassol Marathon to runners ".
The 13th OPAP Limassol Marathon will be held & nbsp; March 23-24, 2019 & nbsp; and it is expected that about 15,000 runners will take part.
