Consistent Performance with Dominant Age Division Win Ray Colledge completed the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon in 1:32:49. At 65, he averaged a 7:05 min/mile pace across the 13.1-mile course. Throughout the race, Ray displayed consistent pacing, especially in the first half, with mile splits mostly under 7 minutes. His initial split at 6:39 was his fastest, maintaining a strong performance winning the M65-69 division. Ray stood out by placing first consistently in his division for each split, a commendable achievement for an experienced runner. Although there was a slight slowing trend towards the end, with mile 12 at 8:08, this did not affect his division lead. Comparing his results to previous races, Ray managed an improved placement in the division despite a marginally slower overall time than a few prior performances. A focus on maintaining strong splits in the latter miles could help reduce the final time further.
