Speed leaders

The marathon is an endurance race so pace and regularity are major factors. It is often quite a daunting task trying to maintain a steady speed.

For those people who set their sights on a “chronometric” target, the Maasmarathon organisers offer people the opportunity to plant themselves firmly in the wake of seasoned runners who, recognisable by a coloured balloon that can be seen from far off, are bent on completing the 42.195 km within a specific time limit.
