A pacing system signals runners with lights indicating if the runner is ahead or behind a preset pace as the runner proceeds around a running track. The system includes a controller that provides pace setting, start, stop, pause, and reset functions; pacing stations (e.g., 20) that are placed at intervals around the running track; and a cart for transport and battery charging. Paces are setup in the controller with a specific number of laps and a time per lap. Bright LED lights in LED matrices in the pacing stations signal the runners outdoors in sunlight. The controller wirelessly communicates with the pacing stations to signal the pacing stations to light at intervals determined by the preset pace. The system may support two or more simultaneous paces and variable pacing per lap to accommodate multiple runners.
A pacing system that signals runners with lights indicating if a runner is ahead or behind a preset pace as the runner proceeds around a running track, comprising:
A method of pacing at least one runner as the at least one runner proceeds around a running track, comprising:
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to implement a method of pacing at least one runner as the at least one runner proceeds around a running track, the method comprising:
