Steady Progress with Early Pace Success Chandler Hobson from Sandy, UT, participated in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon and delivered a fairly consistent performance. With an elapsed time of 1:43:19, Chandler maintained a commendable average pace of 7:53 min/mile over the 13.1 miles. Notably, his pacing was strongest in the opening mile at 7:59, and he improved to 7:27 by the second mile. His overall placing was 542nd out of 3,972 participants, and he finished 339th among male runners. In his age division (M25-29), Chandler secured the 75th position. Throughout the splits, Chandler displayed a steady form. The first half showed a concerted effort, with miles 2 through 5 reflecting consistent pacing in the low 7-minute miles. However, from mile 9 onward, there was a noticeable deceleration with split paces gradually increasing, peaking at 9:02 in mile 12. A focus on maintaining pace in the latter stages could further enhance performance.
