Which pacers are in pen 9 of VLM? Hoping for the 4:45 pacer!
Does anyone know which pacers are in which pen? I've searched on the runners world pacing page but they don't say which pen each pacer is in. I collected my number yesterday and I'm in pen 9, I wanted to run with the 4:45 pacer as I'm aiming for 10:52 min miles. Any help on this or advice on how to get to the 4:45 is really appreciated. Thanks.

Picked up a RW pacer leaflet today and it states Pen 8 is the 10:52mm / 4:45 finish pen while Pen 9 is 11:27mm / 5:00 finish (and slower). If you can get close to the front of your pen you should be able to spot a pacer in Pen 8 and work your way through to him over the first mile.
