Hey folks,
Do they have pacers in the GNR? I mean the people who have a specific time on a banner so you can just follow them round. Been years since i did this.

GG - you hype away girl I'll look out for you all in the crowd.
I'm not sure that I remember official pacers but it's a while since I ran this last. Might be worth asking on RW too...

Zingy - I have seen pacers one year, but not recently.
Of course if you are a celebrity you will get your own personal pacer......

There were pacers last year. Or at least I saw one in my pen. Hoping it will be the same this year.

Mine finally arrived yesterday - green zone H no. 35257. They've sent me two timing chips - hope they don't expect me to go round twice

Hey folks, I've not been on here for AGES!!! life has been way too manic for my liking. Aaaaanyway, my race pack has arrived.
Im Zone D 16600. I cannot remember what time I put down to get that zone??! I'm hoping for 2 hrs or slightly sub all being well. I suppose all dependant on crowds, congestion and my ability on the day !
So, I will need to decide where to stand in 'the zone'. Near the front???? Any advice out there?
Also I have a t-shirt predicament - I'm running for CF so won't be able to wear my fetch top
I could wear both and rotate on the way round but this may not be the most practical option

Still no pack for me or OH. Mine is ballot place but OH is through a charity. Our postie's probably too busy delivering tax demands

You can wear your Fetch top underneath the charity vest.
I'm in Zone D and I think I probably put down 1.45 as the target time. I've never had a choice where to stand in the zone - it's wherever I end up getting pushed to! I usually go left though as it's apparently less crowded.
I've never seen a pacer before although I heard a rumour that the slowest ones they do is 1.40 which would explain why I've never seen them.
Dave - if you want sub 90 you'll have to wear your Fetch colours - everyone knows they make you run faster. Or if you like you can borrow El Capitain's Sunderland shirt - that guarantees you run like f*** for the first few miles until you're out of Gateshead. I think you'll suit red & white stripes too
