Consistent Pacing with Strong Mid-Race Performance Dawn Downham demonstrated a consistent pacing strategy throughout the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon with a total time of 4:21:21 and an average pace of 9:58 minutes per mile over the 26.2-mile course. Noteworthy is her performance in the middle section of the race, where she secured splits under the 9:10 mark between miles 6 and 13. This strong mid-race execution likely contributed to her maintaining a relatively steady pace even as split times began to fluctuate toward the end. Her placement was 791st among female participants, with an overall placement of 1947 out of 2690 competitors. In her age division (F45-49), Dawn placed 120th, indicating a competitive effort against her peers. While her pace slightly slowed in the final miles, particularly noticeable in the last mile (12:03 pace), there's potential to work on maintaining the earlier momentum. Additional focus on those closing miles can help improve overall race endurance and finish times.
