Consistent Start, Challenging Finish Brandon Allbritton from Westerville, OH demonstrated strategic pacing during the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon. Beginning strongly, his first mile clocked in at 8:18 min/mile, placing 322nd in his gender and 61st in his division. He maintained a sub-10-minute pace for the initial 8 miles, with split times ranging from 8:18 min/mile in the first mile to 10:41 min/mile by the 9-mile mark. As the race progressed, Brandon encountered a gradual pace increase, culminating in a final overall time of 5:57:42 and an average pace of 13:39 min/mile.
