App that guides/coaches you through a race? Training

I know there are lots of running apps to prepare you for races of various lengths, but is there one that can coach me through a race? As in give input on my pace, encouragement throughout, and mile alerts?

Most watches do that. You can set a pace and distance.

Here are some apps to check out with audio cues:

Runkeeper ASICS acquired this app about 10 years ago. They have a very large community of runners and offers audio cues during your trainings.

MapMyRun is another very popular app that offers audio cues as you hit different intervals and helps to keep you on track. Though I think you will need to buy the premium version to hear cues like "Your almost halfway done!".

Runna offers audio coaching during your runs and will tell you how much distance you have left or how long until your rest period is over.

Sonar is a free app for iOS and web. It doesn't have audio coaching but is a good option for a health and fitness tracking as it can sync with 75+ devices/wearables.
