There Had to Be a Better Way

That’s what the founder, Graham Henshaw of PaceTat said which ultimately led to the brilliant invention of what is known as PaceTat. Runners that have been training hard to reach a goal time for their marathon can’t do without one of these.
As the name implies, PaceTat is a removable tattoo that helps to keep marathon runners on pace during the marathon so that they can finish within their goal time. PaceTat (as pictured) measures 1-1/2″ wide by 6-1/4″ long gets tattooed to the underside of your forearm. The removable tattoo is made with 100% FDA approved ingredients, so should be safe for your skin. PaceTat has made it easier than ever to keep check on your times during the race. And it gives both mile splits as well as kilometer splits. Need this kind of guidance for a half marathon? Just cut it in half.
There’s no issue about the comfort as it’s part of your skin. Easy to take off with baby oil or rubbing alcohol after your marathon, but will easily last for a few days on your arm just in case you are thinking about back to back marathons.
It’s my goal to one day qualify to run the Boston Marathon. It will take discipline and training on my part, but I will definitely be sporting a PaceTat as part of my running kit in my attempt to reach my goal.

I used PaceTat for the first time in a half Marathon I posted a personal best time and found the PaceTat did its job and more, motivating me throughout the race. Fantastic product easy to get on and off. I have two upcoming races and will be using PaceTat again.
