Impressive Improvement on Pace with Strategic Placement Ana Campos-Benitez delivered a notable performance in the 2025 REVEL Big Bear Half Marathon. Her consistent pacing throughout the race is evidenced by an overall elapsed time of 1:31:41, translating to an average pace of 6:59 min/mile. Ana secured a strong 4th place in her F40-44 division, an enhancement from last year's 69th placement. Her splits show a commanding start with a 6:33 min/mile pace in the first mile and maintaining close to her average pace with small fluctuations.

She slightly slowed towards the end but managed to sustain a podium finish in her division. The progression from her 1:39:18 finish last year is remarkable.
