About Marathon Pace Band

Team Good River Racing Team

. My inspiration for the Marathon Pace Band was the fact that is hard to remember all my splits for the marathon race. Most importantly when we runners go through that bad patch it is nice to have a little inspiration with. I hope that the Marathon Pace Band will make your next marathon successful and more enjoyable.

Thanks so much again for the pace band. I was the envy of all my fellow running buddies at my recent marathon in Virginia Beach (Shamrock Marathon). It made it so much easier to determine where I was regarding my pace,allowing me to stay focused on my running instead of trying to do the time calculations in my head! It was very comfortable, absorbent, and even worked well as a hand warmer when I pulled it down over my hand during some frigid wind. Having my inspirational message to read every few miles was also a welcomed sight, and definitely helped keep me motivated. Thank you so much for helping to make my first marathon even better than expected!
