Consistent Start, Challenging Finish Jose Mercado from Las Vegas completed the Half Marathon at the 2025 Las Vegas Marathon with an overall time of 3:21:12, achieving a pace of 15:21 min/mile. Notably, Jose began with a strong start, clocking his fastest split at the first mile with a pace of 9:34 min/mile. His performance placed him 787th among male participants and 51st in the M50-54 division. As the race progressed, a trend towards slower splits can be observed, peaking at mile 12 with a split pace of 23:08 min/mile.

Jose will likely benefit from focusing on these aspects for his next race.
