Steady Performance with Strong Middle Splits Kevin McKale, 52, from Feasterville Trevose, PA, delivered a solid performance at the 2025 Vacation Races Bryce Canyon Ultras 60K. Completing the 36.6-mile course in 8:08:53, Kevin maintained a consistent overall pace of 13:21 min/mile. Notably, his strongest sections were between Mile 8 and Mile 12, where he clocked a split pace of 9:20 min/mile over a 4.01-mile stretch. This effort helped him secure a position of 15th overall and 9th in the male category among 151 total participants. Kevin's performance showed resilience, especially in the later stages as he managed a split pace of 10:50 min/mile in the final two miles. A consistent start saw him rank 11th overall by Mile 1. Encouraging improvement opportunities could come from addressing the slower splits at points such as "Blue Fly" and "Mile 14," where pacing declined. This indicates potential benefits from focusing on maintaining consistent pacing over varying terrain.
