Atlanta Marathon 2020 also hosted US Olympic marathon trials the same weekend, got elbow to elbow with some of the most inspiring young people, and interviewed them / sat in on press conferences afterwards!

Why do you pace?

To be a part of something bigger than myself, give to others what has been one of the best parts of my life!

Tell us your best pacing experience.

Last year, WDW marathon rounding the magic kingdom castle in the dark with entire pace group singing, and a few great photos along the way- finishing almost spot on with most of our group still nearby!

Why should someone run in your pace group?

To hear some great Dad jokes, stay in good spirits, and blast off to explore “where no one has gone before”!

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

We take it one step at a time, one mile at a time, and will get to the finish happy.
