Pacer Flag
Marathon & Ultra Marathon Pacer Backpack Flags
Hands-Free Pace Group Identification for Running Events
Minimum Order Quantity of 10 Units
Make your pace groups instantly visible and easy to follow with our lightweight pacer backpack flag system — purpose-built for marathons, ultramarathons, half marathons, trail races and fun runs. Instead of handheld signs that fatigue runners and wobble while moving, this ergonomic vest keeps your pacing time clear and stable for the entire race.
Perfect for race directors, athletics clubs, running events and event organisers who need reliable marathon pacing signage that runners can see from distance.
Designed for Long Distance Running Comfort
Distance running creates repetitive vertical motion. Handheld boards amplify fatigue and reduce visibility. This backpack distributes load across the torso — the most stable structure of the body — producing a consistent upright flag with minimal bounce.
