Pace Leader Application

Do you have experience running or walking marathons and have a passion for sharing your knowledge and experiences with others?

We are currently looking for experienced runners to become one of our famous Pace Group Leaders for our Half & Full Marathon Training Program. Our premium programs would not be possible without our premium Pace Group Leaders!  If you have a passion for helping others achieve their personal athletic goals in a positive, organized, and fun environment, and love Fleet Feet, consider becoming a Pace Group Leader.

What is a Pace Group Leader?
A Pace Group Leader (PL) is one of the most valuable resources to our training program participants and an "on the road" representative of Fleet Feet. As a PL, your main responsibilities include: providing support and guidance to your group, offering positive energy and a positive attitude to the group, provide on road safety support, keeping an assigned approximate pace while running, and educating participants about the benefits that Fleet Feet has to offer. A PL is a training tool for the participants for the fact that you can provide personal experiences, wisdom, and other general tips when it comes to training for half marathons, full marathons, and other racing events.

PL's will travel around to different locations each Saturday. Runs start on Saturdays at 7:30 am for the Spring Program
