Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Sara Hodges #2048 Race: 2026 REVEL Reno Tahoe Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Effort with Consistent Pacing Noted in Early Miles Sara Hodges completed the 2026 REVEL Reno Tahoe Half Marathon with a finishing time of 2:32:39, averaging an 11:39 min/mile pace. Representing "Run4fun" from Syracuse, UT, she maintained a strong beginning, as seen in the first three miles with split paces of 10:42, 10:34, and 9:50 min/mile. The third mile was particularly commendable with the fastest split pace of the race at 9:50 min/mile, showing strong potential in earlier stages. For pacing strategy, attention could be given to managing energy in later miles, as the split time increased progressively, peaking at a 13:25 min/mile pace in mile 10. Nonetheless, the final mile demonstrated a resurgence with a marked improvement to an 11:10 min/mile pace. Ending with an overall placement of 323rd out of 586 participants and 35th in the F40-44 division, Sara showed an admirable effort for her age group. Great job!
