Run Rome The Marathon 2025 – 30th EDITION: The World Pace Team is waiting for you!

WHO ARE PACERS – Being a Pacer is an important responsibility: it means fulfilling a mission, having an edge, feeling the sacred fire of sacrifice inside you to go and run a marathon thinking only and above all of others.
Being a Pacer doesn’t just mean putting balloons on your back with the final race time written on them and running.
It means helping thousands of marathon runners and bringing them to the finish line in the pre-established time, dispensing advice, providing security, dictating the pace constantly.
A Pacer turns the dream of many marathon runners of crossing a long-awaited finish line into reality.

THE WORLD PACER TEAM 2025!

We are proud to introduce the Gladiators Team, the official pacers of the Acea Run Rome The Marathon.
The numbers speak for themselves: over 1,500 applications from all over the world to become an official pacer for Acea Run Rome The Marathon.
More than 200 experienced runners have been selected to guide participants, from the fastest to the slowest, all the way to Circo Massimo, supporting is also provided for those completing the marathon with fast walking.

Once again, there is strong international representation, with more than 50% of pacers coming from 18 different countries.
On average, each pacer has completed 50 marathons, and together they have run over 10,000 marathons.
