This was my first Runthrough event and I was delighted to be part of the offical pace team put together by Runarchy. This is a brand new half marathon set in and around the grounds of the Olympic stadium. I was asked to pace the 1.50 group. It was quite a large field of over 3000 runners and the logisitcs around the start were a bit hectic with the bag drop and starting pens. I was a little nervous about the route based on the map but the course was brilliant. We weaved our way around the various parts of the Olympic Park and we were always seeing groups of runners at different pace groups, it was brilliant to see so many of the Runarchy pace team. The marshals were brilliant and there were nunerous aid stations on the course, for a cold day the crowd support was pretty good too. My only negative point which was heightened as a pacer was the location of some mile markers which were way out on occasion. I brought my group of runners home in 1.49.53 and there plenty of PB’s and happy runners at the end. We all received a beautiful medal and great finishers t-shirt. Overall I loved this event and think it could grow in to a very big race, I certainly hope to be back again in 2020. Great work Runthrough.
