PACERS
What is a pacer? The definition of a pacer is someone who runs any amount of the MDH ULTRAS (50, 75,100) with a registered runner. A pacer can be very crucial to the success of an ultra runner, making for a very positive experience. A pacer is a motivator, a mentor, a companion, and a savior. A pacer must be in great physical condition, tough, self-reliant, level-headed, positive, and must know the runner as they know themselves. The pacer’s job is to take care of the runner, not the other way around.
Who can have a pacer? Runners attempting to the run the Maah Daah Hey 100 OR 50 Mile race are allowed to have a pacer, on foot only (no bikes), from Aid Station #2 (mile 50.4) and onward for the 100 or from Aid Station #3 for the 50 mile runners. Racers who are 60 years of age or older can have a pacer for the entire 100 mile distance.
Making Your Pacer Official
– Pacer must be 18 years of age or older
– Pacer must sign a race waiver and register as a pacer
– Pacer must wear official Pacer Bib (found in race packet)
Pacer Do’s and Do (Legal)
– One pacer at a time (can have as many in your crew as you wish).
– Pacers have to join and/or leave their runner at a designated checkpoints.
– Pacers must have all their own gear: trail shoes, hydration pack, headlamp, nutrition, water, etc.
Don’t Don’t (Illegal)
– No “muling”! Registered runners must carry their own food and water.
– No leap frogging! You must enter AND leave each checkpoint with your runner.
– You must stay with your runner at all times. If your runner drops, you cannot continue the MDH 100 on your own.
