He achieved a total time of 5:33:48, securing an overall rank of 1051 out of 1398 participants. Within his division (M50-54), he finished 60th. A notable moment occurred between miles 4 and 5, where Roger displayed a remarkable shift, clocking an 8:30 min/mile split time, significantly faster than his average pace. Splits demonstrated a strong start, evidenced by a progressive reduction in pace from 11:14 min/mile in the first mile to 10:04 by the fifth mile.

Future emphasis might be made on maintaining a more uniform pace in the latter miles to enhance overall efficiency and recovery toward the end of the race.
