GSER 2022 PACERS

At GSER 2022, Pacers are allowed for both our 50 and 100-mile events.

Not only will GSER Pacers take in the scenic mountain views of the Victorian high country, but they’ll also provide their runner with moral support, and companionship and keep them motivated to make it to the finish line.

GSER 50-mile runners will be allowed TWO pacers to join them (only one at a time though):

• PACER 1 will be allowed to join their runner from Blowhard Aid station back to Mt Murray and then to Blowhard Aid Station. (36.6 Km’s).
• PACER 2 will be allowed to join their runner from Blowhard Aid Station (on their return from Mt Murray) and support them all the way back to the finish line (17.4 Km’s).

GSER 100-mile runners will be allowed TWO pacers to join them (only one at a time though):

• PACER 1 will be allowed to join their runner from Selwyn Aid station supporting them out to the Viking turn around and back to the Selwyn Aid station (71.3 km’s)
• PACER 2 will be allowed to join their runner from Selwyn Aid station and support them all the way back to the finish line (39.3 km’s).
• We are also allowing PACER 1 to become PACER 2 (supporting their runner for 110.6 Km’s)

We offer a full shuttle service for Pacers to be taken from RACE HQ in Harrietville out to the designated aid stations and for those who do not accompany their runner back to the finish line, we will also shuttle you back to RACE HQ. Scheduled shuttle times will be available closer to the event.
(Please note: Shuttle times will be on a set schedule and may not suit all PACER timings).

All PACERs will have full access to the Aid station facilities.
