Consistent and Strong Middle Splits Haeng Kim displayed a steady performance at the 2026 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon. Among her splits, mile 5 stands out with an impressive split time of 7:31, marking her fastest pace at 9:33 min/mile, which improved her overall position and division ranking briefly. Her strategy to pick up pace around the midpoint led to a significant improvement, allowing her to move up positions in both the overall and gender-specific standings. Maintaining a consistent pace through most of the segments, Haeng finished the marathon with an overall time of 5:03:15. She achieved an average pace of 11:34 min/mile, securing 9th place in her division (F65-69). Her choice to capitalize mid-race by increasing speed is commendable. Future improvements could focus on maintaining the energy seen in the earlier and middle miles through the later stages of the race for even better positioning. Well done representing the SoCal RUNNERS team.
