Consistent Pace with a Strong Finish Ethan Thresher completed the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon with an overall time of 3:28:23, maintaining an average pace of 7:57 min/mile over the 26.2-mile course. His performance was particularly impressive in the final stretch, where he recorded his fastest split at mile 22 with a 7:02 min/mile pace. Ethan secured 957th place overall out of 2690 participants, ranking 687th in the male category, and 65th in the M25-29 age division. Ethan exhibited impressive consistency throughout the marathon, especially during the second half of the race. From mile 11 onwards, he consistently improved his pacing, averaging sub-8-minute miles, a notable improvement from the first half where his pace mostly hovered around 8:20 min/mile. This strategy of negative splitting—running the second half faster than the first—proved beneficial. For even better results in future races, refining early pacing may provide additional energy conservation to further capitalize on his strong finish.
