Consistent Pace Leads to Division Triumph Charles Castonguay maintained an impressive and consistent pace throughout the 2025 REVEL White Mountains Marathon. His overall time was 2:34:34, averaging a pace of 5:53 min/mile. Notably, he placed 1st in the M35-39 division out of 1313 participants. Charles exhibited strong pacing strategy with minimal variation, clocking the first 4 miles with an average split of approximately 5:32 min/mile and finishing the last 4 miles with a similar pace. Despite a slightly slower performance than his 2024 race, where he finished in 2:33:05, it’s clear that Charles’ divisional victory is well deserved. An area to focus on could be maintaining a slightly faster pace around the midpoint of the race, as seen in splits 5-9 where there was a slight pace increase to 5:40-6:11 min/mile. This can potentially contribute to an even more efficient finish in future races. Keep pushing forward and refining your strategy!
