We are delighted to have XEMPO pacing LLHM 2026. We will have pacers split across all our waves, running a range of times.

The Xempo Pace Team comes with lots of experience and will work hard to get you across that finish line in your desired time. If you’ve been at a half marathon anywhere in the south over the past few years there’s a good chance you’ll have spotted their dedicated team of pace runners. You won’t miss them as they will be wearing LLHM Running pacer flags with their waves and the time they are running printed in bold. Do say ‘hi’ when you see them!

Please remember that pacers are limited and that at an event of over 20,000 people we cannot guarantee everyone will be able to follow a pacer for their desired time. If you are aiming for a specific time please train accordingly and be ready to manage your own pacing on the day.
