Throughout the race, Riley demonstrated consistent pacing, with improvements in positioning as the race progressed. Starting the race with a pace of 9:15 per mile, Riley efficiently increased speed, achieving his fastest split at mile 9 with a noteworthy pace of 6:06 per mile and finishing strong with splits of 7:37 per mile for the last two miles. Riley finished 807th overall out of 6546 participants, 562nd among all males, and 73rd in the Male 20-24 division.
