Consistent Start, Challenging Finish Dax Crum, a 40-year-old male from Nibley, UT, showcased strong early pacing in the Marathon at the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston. Notably, Dax maintained a consistent pace under 8 minutes per mile from mile 2 through mile 16. He achieved his fastest mile at mile 3, clocking in an impressive 7:15 min/mile. However, as the race progressed past the halfway mark, fatigue became evident. From mile 17 onwards, there was a gradual deceleration in pace, culminating in the slowest mile at 15:21 min/mile during mile 23. Dax finished with an elapsed time of 4:16:55, averaging a pace of 9:48 min/mile. Out of 2,690 participants, he placed 1,895th overall. Areas of focus for improvement could include maintaining late-race stamina and perhaps employing even splits throughout the distance.
