Question 7

How to select Pace Group for a Competitive heat

Accepted Answer

How do I select my Pace Group for a Competitive heat? Every Competitive race will feature five different pace groups. Racers are asked to select the group that best fits their expected performance in the race. To help athletes best approximate the appropriate group for their ability level, we offer three reference points for each of our primary race formats (Sprint, Super, and Beast). These reference points are: 1. Fastest finish time for that event format. For example, a racer that has run their best Spartan Sprint in 42 minutes would round down and select Pace Group 3. 2. Fastest running pace for a non-OCR event at a comparable distance. For example, a racer that has completed a half marathon in 1 hour, 39 minutes would select Pace Group 2 for a Beast race. 3. Overall Finish position. For example - a racer expecting to be competitive for a top 20 finish would select Pace Group 2. The table below can be used to help select the appropriate Pace Group for your next Spartan race. Pace Group Please note, while we’re aware that your course time and/or finish position may vary from event to event, we expect all racers to act with integrity and make every effort to select the right Pace Group for their ability level. Racers that are found to repeatedly misrepresent their pace may be automatically reassigned to a different group by Spartan Race staff. Ongoing dishonest behavior may result in a ban from the Competitive category.
