Pacers

Since the 1980’s the Sydney Striders Road Runners Club has demonstrated a passion for and enjoyment of running throughout Sydney and beyond.

The Striders can be spotted running all over Sydney and on race day in their distinctive white and green shirts and are instantly recognisable for their enthusiasm, encouragement and support of fellow runners of all abilities. Their focus on encouragement and an even pacing strategy will give you the best chance to achieve your goals on race day.

Make sure to find your pacer at this year’s Sun Run (identified by flag with a target time) early and let them know you are on their “bus” for that extra personal touch, and they’ll ensure you get across the line to achieve your target time or even better – your personal best!
