Pacer Team
Travis Martin
3:45 Lead Pacer
Travis began running in High School and ran his first marathon in 1992 in 3:08 (Rocket City
Marathon). Since then, he has participated in various distance races including full and half
marathons, 5k and 10k events, as well as numerous trail and road relays. Travis ran the 2022 Boston
Marathon just under 3:08 and hopes to help others qualify in order to participate. Travis paces
several other marathons/events and excited to pace the bg26.2.
Billy Byrne
4:00 Lead Pacer
Billy has been running for over 10 years now and absolutely loves to race and pace! He loves the trails
just as much as he loves road racing. He is very goal oriented. Often setting goals way higher than
what he thinks he is capable of. He loves to push himself to the limit and continue to get faster. Billy
ran his second Boston this year and 11 days later paced (3:40) KDF Marathon with his buddy Travis
Martin and swears he had more fun at KDF!
Billy loves to inspire all runners to get out there and simply “embrace” everything about running. In
Billy’s own words, “Running is all about pushing our physical capabilities to the limits to run 26.2 miles
consecutively however, I am a firm believer that we should have fun doing it! A run is always more
enjoyable when you have an entire pack of runners doing what they love.”
Jeremey Burgess
4:30 Lead Pacer
Jeremey started running in high school, and then ran in college. His event was the 1500m with a PR of 3:52. Jeremey
joined the Army and after his time in the Army he switched to running marathons and ultra-marathons. He has run 6
ultra-marathons and 7 marathons with his best time at the 2023 Chicago marathon of 3:36:43. Jeremey is running this
year’s Chicago Marathon hoping to qualify for the Boston Marathon. He likes to have fun and dance and talk to people
as he runs.
This is Jeremey’s first time pacing the bg26.2 and we are excited he has come on board!!
