Improved Midrace Performance with Consistent Pacing Justice Bufford executed a strategically paced race at the 2025 Las Vegas Marathon, completing the 7.02-mile course in 2:23:12, translating to a 20:24 min/mile average pace. Notably, her performance showcased impressive midrace improvement, achieving her fastest split in the third mile with a time of 19:06. Furthermore, Justice improved her standing as the race progressed, indicative of effective pacing strategy, as seen in the advanced placement from 1192 overall after mile 1 to 1029 by mile 4.
