Pacer Team
Logan Jarboe
3:30 Lead Pacer
I’m based in Evansville, Indiana, and have a deep passion for endurance running. Over the past year, I’ve been consistently racing and training with a focus on both speed and distance. Some recent highlights include placing 2nd overall at the Owensboro Half Marathon in November 2024 with a time of 1:31, and finishing 50th at the Evansville Half Marathon with a 1:36. I also frequently place in the top 5 at local 5Ks throughout the region.
Currently, I’m training for the Shawnee Hills 100-miler this August, so my weekly mileage and endurance base are strong. I’ve paced friends and local runners before and genuinely enjoy helping others hit their goals. I take pride in staying on pace, keeping morale high, and making sure the runners around me feel supported and inspired.
Billy Byrne
3:45 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.”
Travis Martin
4:00 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.

Hey everyone, I am Korey Vaughn and I am the 4:30 pace leader for the BG 26.2 Half and Full marathon. I started running consistently in 2023.

After losing 300 pounds, Dustin discovered a true love for running. He has completed 6 marathons, pacing 5 of them, and found his passion in helping others reach their goals. This year, Dustin is chasing a Guinness World Record attempt for the fastest marathon by someone who once weighed over 500 pounds, aiming for a 3:30 finish. He lives in Clarksville, Tennessee with his wife and two children, and finds joy in pacing, encouraging, and running alongside others chasing their dreams.
