Strong Steady Performance with Stellar Division Placement Nathan Steinle showcased an impressive performance at the 2026 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon. Finishing with a time of 2:52:10 and an overall pace of 6:34 min/mile, Nathan secured an admirable 3rd place in the M45-49 division out of 1398 participants. His early splits demonstrated a robust acceleration, with a noticeable improvement from the first mile pace of 7:09 min/mile to consistent sub-6:30 min/miles by the mid-race. Mile 7 stood out with a swift 5:52 min/mile pace, marking his fastest split.
