Date: Oct. 11, 2025 Participant: Sam Benecke #1113 Race: 2025 Breckenridge Road Marathon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Start and Consistent Finish Sam Benecke displayed consistent pacing in the 2025 Breckenridge Road Marathon 10K event. Starting with an impressive first mile at 6:14 minutes, Sam held a solid pace throughout the race. His overall pace settled at 7:01 minutes per mile, completing the 10K distance in 43:31. This placed him 12th overall among 229 participants, and 10th in his gender category, with a strong 3rd place finish in the M30-39 division. The second mile saw a slight drop to a 7:02 pace, and Sam maintained close to even splits throughout the remaining distance. His consistent pacing is commendable, though there's an opportunity to work on maintaining speed through the later miles, specifically the 4th and 5th splits, where a minor slow down was noted. Focusing on sustaining that initial fast-paced energy might further improve his already impressive division ranking in future races.
