“The overall average was 4 minutes 54 seconds per 1 km, and the record was 2 hours 26 minutes 36 seconds.”

With full marathon three weeks away, the runner entered to check their current form at goal pace. They hurt the back of their left knee two days before the race but had recovered by race day. Over three laps of the 5km course, they broke away from the pacer group early and picked up the pace slightly in the second half.

“Pacer supported us well by pointing out the curves and changes in level and helping at the aid stations. It was my first event this good, and I really enjoyed it.”

The runner found the guidance from the pacers and the aid-station support attentive, which allowed the runner to enjoy the run. This is an account published on the official participant-reviews page.
