Any registered runner can join a pace group for free. Just look for your pacers in your wave corral (you’ll know them by their special race day gear and their sign with pace and EFT) and follow them.

You don’t have to run a race to be a part of Race Day. The Berkeley Half Marathon encourages friends and family of runners and the Bay Area community to participate on Race Day. Your cheering and encouragement makes a meaningful impact on our runners on Race Day. From cheer locations to how to get to them, we hope the following information helps you prepare to cheer on your runner and our runner community.
