How to become a pacer at races

Good pacers are a super helpful part of a successful & enjoyable race for many (bad pacers are some of my *biggest* running pet peeves), and it seems like a fun way to give back to your local races.

I’ve done plenty of searches and haven’t really found any places where you’d apply, besides a sprinkling of past races. Every race website has a volunteer page, but on none of them is there a pacer position. I’ve directly contacted some races with no response as well.

I’d just like to know / ask those familiar with being a pacer at races around the city how they went about becoming one. And if you or somebody you know is currently organizing a race, I’d like to help out!
