Chicago Marathon Corral B Pacer Issues, Again
EDIT: 3:00 pacers has been added to Corral B!
The Chicago Marathon pacer groups have been posted here. It looks like the fastest pacer for Corral B is 3:05, which doesn't really match the >3:01 (M), <3:15 standard for this Corral. Many runners in B will be shooting for a time faster than 3:05.
Last year there was a similar issue. They initially posted pacers starting at 3:10 for Corral B, but later realigned the pace groups to include 3:00 to 3:20.
I just sent an email to the pace team ([email protected]). Please do the same if you'd like a 3:00 pacer in Corral B - or if you see any other discrepancies in the corral standards and available pace groups.
Thanks, and good luck this year!

While people are emailing them about that, please also mention that the pacers should have their corral letters on their backs.
Last year I started in H, but gradually moved up to G's and F's... I saw various pacers along the way but couldn't tell whether they started in my corral or farther up until I passed them and turned around to look at their front bib.
Such a good idea
