Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Sammy McCrary #2253 Race: 2025 Las Vegas Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Maintained Steady Determination in Marathon Effort Sammy McCrary participated in the 2025 Las Vegas Marathon, clocking a finishing time of 4:25:20 over the 26.2 miles with an overall pace of 10:07 min/mile. Notably consistent in placing within his division, he finished 49th in the M50-54 category out of 1879 total participants. His pacing was strongest in the first two miles, where his split times were 8:54 and 7:43 min/mile, respectively, before settling into a more reserved pace. Throughout the race, Sammy's pacing showed variability, which affected his overall performance. This is evident particularly in mile 7 where he clocked a split time of 13:15 min/mile. Future races could see improved outcomes by maintaining an even split pacing strategy. The ability to hold a consistent pace would potentially reduce fatigue and contribute to a stronger finish, reflecting more closely his performance from the previous year, where he achieved a faster pace overall.
