SmartPace Bands
SmartPace pace calculator
Use our unique Calculator to show how our SmartPace pacing strategies will look for a full or half marathon.
Our pace teams rely on SmartPace pace bands to meet their goal time and stick to their pacing strategy. Unlike most pace bands, which are "even splits" all the way down, our SmartPace bands are specially designed to incorporate the pacing strategy and any changes for hills. It will show you, mile by mile, what you pace should be for the mile and the elapsed time.
We are proud to partner with Races2Remember.com on these bands. They create custom pace bands using the SmartPace strategy, and can customize bands for the elevation of any course and any pace (and any pacing strategy).
For select races, bands will be available for you to pick up at the Pacer table. Check the pacer info site at your race website to find out. You may also purchase sets of the same SmartPace bands our pacers will use directly from Races2Remember.com. The bands come in sets of 2 and are available for each of the Pace Team goal times. Races2Remember can also make custom bands for any other finish time, and for any other race.
Races2Remember also creates MyNames bibs to show your name during a race (to help get moral support and cheering!), as well as CheeringSigns, BackStories photo back bibs and custom tattoos.
