Nationale-Nederlanden Pacing Team

For the upcoming edition of the NN Marathon Rotterdam, the pacers of the Nationale-Nederlanden Pacing Team, in collaboration with the Dutch Pacing Team, will once again be there to help runners achieve their target finish time in the marathon.

The pacing team consists of experienced runners who set the pace throughout the entire marathon. The pacers can be recognized by their NN shirt and flags showing the intended finishing time. You can join the pacer that matches your target time free of charge. These pace leaders have extensive race experience and a perfect feel for the distance, conditions, and correct pace. They ensure a steady rhythm and help you through challenging moments. From time to time, they fall back into the group to encourage you and share valuable tips. During the NN Marathon Rotterdam, three pacers run with each group so that you are optimally guided towards the finish.

Target times
The pacers will be divided across a range of target finish times, from 3 hours to 5 hours. For exact information, please see: Pacing Team

The pacers are easy to recognize by their NN shirts and flags displaying the target finish time. Just like the participants, the pacers will start in the start waves and start corrals corresponding to the same expected finish time.Your start wave has been assigned based on the expected finish time you provided on the registration form and can no longer be changed. You can find your start wave in your dashboard and on your bib number.
