A pacemaker or pacesetter, sometimes informally called a rabbit, is a runner who leads a middle- or long-distance running event for the first section to ensure a high speed and to avoid excessive tactical racing. A competitor who chooses the tactic of leading in order to win is called a front-runner rather than a pacemaker.
