About the game
Marathon Pace is a running game about patience. Your energy drains faster and faster the quicker you run, so a pace that feels easy in the first kilometres can leave you empty later on. Hit the wall and your dog slows to a shuffle while the field streams past.
You control the pace with two buttons, grab water at every station to keep the tank from draining faster, and tuck in right behind a rival to save energy in their slipstream, especially into a headwind. The rabbit rival always sprints off at the start, and following it is tempting. A faint ghost runner shows the even pace that would bring you home in your best time. Races grow from 10K to the half and the full marathon, and rivals get stronger.
