Consistent Pacing but Slower Final Mile Splits Sara Hodges participated in the 2026 REVEL Mt Charleston Half Marathon, covering the 13.1-mile distance in an elapsed time of 2:23:20 with an average pace of 10:56 min/mile. Her performance was steady in the early miles, but there was a noticeable trend toward slower mile splits in the latter half of the race. By the 5th mile, her pace went from 9:42 to 12:10 min/mile, affecting subsequent splits. Notably, she finished 808th out of 1542 participants, 426th among female competitors, and 56th in her division for females aged 40-44. Comparing to her previous half marathon at the same event in 2019, Sara's finish time increased by nearly four minutes, indicating a slight decline in minute per mile pace from 10:38 to 10:56. Focus might be placed on maintaining consistency in pacing throughout the race to close the widening gap observed in the split times, especially near the finish.
