Date: Oct. 26, 2025 Participant: Cole Curtis #1591 Race: 2025 Las Vegas Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Early Pace with a Challenging Finish Cole Curtis demonstrated consistency in the early phases of the race, beginning with a 9:50 min/mile pace in the first mile, and improving to a 9:17 min/mile pace by mile five. This consistency also showed in his overall elapsed pace at 9:27 min/mile by mile 16. Notably, he maintained a strong rhythm through miles four to six, keeping a steady pace between 9:04 and 9:10 min/mile. His placements remained relatively stable through the mid-section, constantly in the top two-thirds of his division (M25-29). In the later stages, Cole saw fluctuation, with a significant shift occurring at mile 21, where his pace dipped to 11:36 min/mile. The last few miles, particularly miles 22 and 24, saw his pace slow further to 15:12 and 14:17 min/mile respectively. Finishing the marathon with an elapsed time of 4:36:38 and an overall pace of 10:33 min/mile, it would be beneficial to focus on endurance to maintain earlier paces throughout the entirety of future races.
