Strong Start, Steady Pace, Consistent Finish William Sparks executed a well-paced marathon performance at the 2025 Las Vegas Marathon. He achieved an overall time of 4:08:12 for a total distance of 26.2 miles, maintaining an average pace of 9:28 min/mile. Notably, his strongest split occurred between miles 2 and 3, with a consistent pace of 8:14 min/mile that improved his placement. By mile 10, he had sustained a steady position, holding at 680th overall, with consistent performance through the mid-race miles. While there was an increase in pace consistency from miles 7 to 13, the race data showed a gradual increase in times across the later miles. The splits between miles 17 and 26 indicate a slowdown, reflected in the sub-10-minute miles after mile 21. Despite this, William's overall placement was 719 out of 1879 participants, achieving 88th in his division. Focus on endurance and pacing strategies for the latter part of the race could bring even further improvements for future events.
