Persistent Effort in REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon Justin Norfleet, representing Red Rock Running Company from Las Vegas, participated in the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon, finishing with an elapsed time of 5:24:56 and a pace of 12:24 min/mile. Out of 2,690 participants, he secured a place of 2,299 overall and placed 175th in the Male 35-39 division. In the early stages, he started with a strong pace, maintaining under 6:30 min/mile for the first three miles, effectively reaching 6:13 min/mile by the sixth mile. Justin showed resilience with his ranking reaching as high as 21st at mile 7. While sustaining a commendable effort, there were sections where the pace dropped significantly. From mile 18 onward, his pace extended beyond 7:30 min/mile. There seems to be an opportunity for strategizing pacing in the latter part of the marathon to enhance consistency. Analyzing these splits could optimize future races and mitigate pace declines, especially past mile 18.
