Gill Pacer Poles
Gill Athletics has been building track & field equipment for decades. The Pacer lineup covers every level — a forgiving beginner pole, a versatile mid-range option, and a premium composite for serious athletes.
Slowed-Down Bend
The Pacer One is specifically designed with a delayed bend response, giving developing athletes more time to get into the proper swing position before the pole fires. It's one of the most beginner-friendly poles on the market.
Clear Progression Path
The three-model Pacer lineup lets athletes stay in the same brand family as they advance — Pacer One → PacerFXV → Composite — so coaches can track progress without changing equipment systems.
Backed by Gill Athletics
Gill Athletics has outfitted stadiums and track programs for over 50 years. The Pacer poles carry that same institutional quality — reliable, well-supported, and widely used at the high school level.
