Hi Team-
We are looking for pacers/alternates for the Hot Chocolate 15k in Charlotte, North Carolina on January 19th, 2019.
Charlotte, North Carolina is:
1 hour 30 minutes southwest of Greensboro, NC
1 hour 50 minutes east of Greenville, SC
2 hours 45 minutes west of Fayetteville, NC
We need to fill the following time slots (minute/mile) and are taking alternates for all other times:
7:30/mile
9:00/mile
9:30/mile
10:30/mile
11:00/mile
11:30/mile
12:00/mile
13:00/mile
15:00/mile
15:00/mile - Sweeper
Please note that we use the same time scale to schedule pacers on 15k’s and other similar race distances as we do in a half marathon. We take the slowest of your last 3 submitted half times and then schedule you 10 minutes back on a half marathon. As an example if the slowest of your last 3 halfs is 1:59, We would schedule you no faster than a 2:10 pacer in a half marathon and no faster than a 10:00/mile in a 15k.
If you are interested in pacing this race please respond to this email. We will schedule you in the fastest possible pace slot based on the information above and will take pacers who have never backed out on a gig and who have purchased their shirts first. If your immediate pace slot is not available we will move you back to the next fastest. If you'd like to decline the slot that we confirm you in please let us know ASAP. If you are confirmed in a time slot slower than you can pace we will move you up if something faster becomes available.
I will respond to all emails by Wednesday, September 19th.
