Date: September 13, 2025 Participant: Addison Thompson #5824 Race: 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Start, Challenging Finish Addison Thompson, a 25-year-old runner from Eagle Mountain, UT, demonstrated a solid performance at the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon. She maintained an impressive initial pace, successfully setting a consistent rhythm with her fastest mile clocking in at 7:30 during the fourth mile. Her overall pace of 8:45 min/mile is commendable, especially considering her strong earlier miles, where she achieved a pace of 8:12 min/mile by the third mile. The latter stages of the race seemed more challenging. Splits slowed from mile six onwards, peaking at a 9:41 min/mile pace between miles 11 and 12. These adjustments in the subsequent miles are common and present a good opportunity to focus on endurance training, which may help maintain pace throughout. Ending the race with an overall time of 1:54:48, Addison's performance is a strong testament to her running capabilities, and with her team, "Chafing The Dream", she has a supportive foundation for future races.
