Marion is a strong and experienced runner who knows exactly what it takes to get you around in 55 minutes.

Heather is equally strong on the running front and as a teacher, she definitely knows how to keep everyone on track!

🏃🏼💙 MEET THE PACERS – 50 MINUTES! 💛🏃‍♂️

Next up in our Meet the Pacers series are the dynamic duo of

💨 Tom Agnew & Philip Mulligan 💨

If you’re aiming for a 50-minute finish at the Seaton Classic 10k, these are the two you’ll want to stick with! 🎯

Tom is one of those runners who always seems to have a smile on his face. Friendly, approachable and endlessly positive, he’ll be there to keep the spirits high and encourage you every step of the way.

And then there’s Philip… a bit of a joker who certainly isn’t “short” of enthusiasm! 🤣 He’ll bring plenty of energy, banter and encouragement to keep the 50-minute group moving.

Together, they’re the perfect combination of positivity, encouragement and a good bit of craic!

🎯 Target time: 50:00
🏃‍♂️ Pace: 5:00/km
😊 Smiles: Guaranteed
😂 Banter: Plenty

🏃‍♂️💙 MEET THE PACERS – 45 MINUTES! 💛🏃‍♂️

Next up in our Meet the Pacers series are two of North Down Athletic Club’s well-known and highly respected athletes

💥 Colin Walker & Paul Carson 💥

These two are experienced athletes at NDAC and will be joining forces to help you chase that 45-minute finish at the Seaton Classic 10k. 🎯

Colin & Paul are a great pairing, plenty of experience, plenty of encouragement… and probably plenty of chat along the way!

There is, however, one important question we need answered…

👕 Will Colin actually keep his top on for the whole race?! 🤔😂

Colin has developed something of a reputation for ditching the race vest when things heat up!

🎯 Target time: 45:00
🏃‍♂️ Pace: 4:30/km
👕 Top: Hopefully ON! 😂

🔥 Aaron Beggs & Garry Morrow 🔥

Two of North Down Athletic Club’s top athletes, these boys know a thing or two about running fast…

Aaron Beggs needs little introduction after becoming something of a viral hero at the Boston Marathon 🇺🇸🏃‍♂️He’ll be bringing that same energy and determination on race day.

Alongside him is Gary Morrow, one of NDAC’s top performers and a seriously accomplished athlete in his own right. 💪

Together, they make a formidable 40-minute pacing duo!

🎯 Target time: 40:00
