Don't guess your race.
Know when water and hills are coming, long before you get there.
PaceKit gives real-time guidance through your headphones so you can stay on pace, avoid mistakes, and run your best race. Works perfectly with your music and ducks volume natively. Built by a runner who needed it mid-race.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Pick your race (or start a Quick Run).
2. Put in your headphones.
3. Run.
You'll hear exactly what matters, when it matters:
- Where aid stations are
- Hills coming up? You'll know before you bonk.
- Landmark and neighborhood callouts with fun facts about the area
- Talk back to your coach while you run (and you should)
Just ask "where's the next aid station?"
PICK YOUR COACH
6 coaches, 6 personalities. Pick the voice that fits how you run.
- The hype man who's got you all the way
- The hard coach who won't let you slack
- The chill guy who keeps it low-key
- The one(s) who roast you the whole time
QUICK RUN
Not racing today? Take your coach anywhere. Same personality, same talk-back, any route. No race required.
WHY IT WORKS
PaceKit was built on your actual race course. Your coach knows every mile before you run it:
- Every turn on the course
- The full elevation profile: every hill, downhill, and the hardest climb
- Every water station, aid stop, and porta potty along the way
- Historical splits from the runners who came before you
- Where the crowds pick up and where they thin out
- The neighborhoods you'll run through and what to expect
- Ground surface, shade coverage, and wind exposure on supported courses
All you have to do is run.
SPECTATOR MESSAGING
Your people aren't just watching. They're in it with you.
- Live tracking so your crew can follow every mile
- Messages from your support come in live, read through your headphones
- Quick emojis for social support
