pace leaders

The Flower City Half Marathon will have pace leaders to help athletes to their goal time.  There is no fee and anyone can use this service.

We are pleased to announce the Flower City Half Marathon Pace Leader Captain is Steve Levitsky.

Steve is a Rochester laywer, who works in downtown Rochester.  Graduated from Brighton HS, lives in Rochester with his wife and 2 children.  Steve has done several marathons, ultras and halves.  He has experience as a pace leader and is looking forwarding to guiding you and fellow pace leaders to a successful day.

The goal is to have the following pace groups:

• 1:30 - Drew Caffrey
• 1:40 - Matt Kellman
• 1:45 - Jim McLaughlin 
• 1:50 - Frank Quattrone
• 2:00 - Wendy Abbott 
• 2:10 - Sandy McLaughlin 
• 2:15 - Kathy Reardon 
• 2:30 - Alan Marciano
• 2:45 - Courtney Abeln
• 3:00 - Amy Lord

There is no need to sign up.  On race day each pace leader will have a pace leader shirt and will be next to their sign at the start line.

Note: Keep in mind, anything can happen to a pace leader on race day, so ultimately it is still the participants job to keep their pace. 

If you have any questions on pace groups please contact Steve at stevenblevitsky@aol.com.
