Pace Bunnies

The BDC Marathon is looking for Pace Bunnies to pace the various courses for the races. Each volunteer Rabbit will receive their registration free in addition to a 2022 edition gift.

But what is a Pace Bunny?

Wearing costume bunny ears, the person travels the path for a specific time. The goal is to help participants reach their goal for that particular race. At every mile, there is a reference point that helps the Rabbit keep a good pace. A time chart for each distance is also used as a reference. The person must be an experienced runner and be able to estimate their speed.

For the lover of running, the experience as a Pace Bunny is rich. It is a form of volunteering and an opportunity to share his or her passion for racing. Before departure, recruits usually go to meet the runners with the pink ears to be comforted and reassured. Following a Pace Bunny in a pack is a source of motivation and encouragement to never give up and to stay focused. Several runners will thank them once they arrive at their destination, satisfaction guaranteed!

Here are the times for which the MBDC (BDC Marathon) would like to have Pace Bunnies. First come, first served!

If you are interested in becoming a Pace Bunny for the next BDC Marathon June 5 2022 or for more information, contact Julie Coulombe : juliecoucool@hotmail.com
