Date: September 13, 2025 Participant: Amar Kumar #1735 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Amar Kumar, representing CRC Columbus Running Company, completed the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon with a total time of 4:13:05, maintaining an average pace of 9:39 min/mile. Amongst 1393 participants, Amar secured the 8th spot in the M60-64 division, highlighting his strong age group performance. The race saw Amar start strong, clocking an opening mile at 8:29, his fastest of the day. Consistency was key for Amar, as he maintained an impressive pace through the early and middle stages, ranging mostly between 8:43 min/mile and 9:13 min/mile until mile 15. To build on his performance, Amar might focus on the latter part of the race, where we observed a notable pace drop with miles 21 through 26 stretching beyond a 10-minute pace. Communication for pacing strategy adjustments in the late race stages could help sustain his earlier momentum. Overall, it was a commendable performance, especially in his age group.
