Steady Performance in White Mountains Marathon Sam Njue completed the 2025 REVEL White Mountains Marathon with a total time of 2:47:03, covering 26.2 miles at an average pace of 6:22 min/mile. Notable splits include a quickening pace towards the end, featuring a strong 5:49 min/mile at mile 16. Sam secured 17th place overall out of 1313 participants and claimed the top position in the M40-44 division. Consistency is evident in maintaining a sub-6:30 pace across most miles, especially from mile 18 to the finish. Comparing this race to last year’s performance, Sam completed the previous marathon 2:44:39 at a faster 6:17 min/mile pace, finishing 9th overall. While this year presented a slightly slower time, Sam improved division placement, moving from 2nd to 1st in the M40-44 group. Suggestions for improvement could involve focusing on slightly earlier pacing strategies, as the first half showed potential for maintaining a sub-6:20 pace longer.
