Date: May 17, 2026 Participant: Jose Elias Avalos #1855 Race: 2026 REVEL Reno Tahoe Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Start, Tactical Finish Jose Elias Avalos maintained a steady pace throughout the majority of the 2026 REVEL Reno Tahoe Half Marathon, completing the race with an overall time of 1:32:47. Noteworthy was his strong start, where he held onto 1:11 min/mile for the second mile, momentarily moving from 6th to 5th place overall. He demonstrated consistent pacing through the initial three miles, staying within the 6th and 5th overall positions. The latter part of the race saw a shift in pace, with mile splits progressively increasing. By mile seven, the elapsed pace was 6:31 min/mile, and by the final mile, it gradually climbed to 7:04 min/mile. Finishing 3rd in the M45-49 division out of 586 total participants is commendable. Evaluating the later miles, a focus on maintaining a more even pace in the second half could refine his performance even further.
