Impressive Climb: Strong Finish in High Altitude Andie Cornish, 24, faced a significant ascent in the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon, finishing with an elapsed time of 3:19:55. She covered the 13.36-mile distance maintaining an average pace of 14:57 min/mile. Notably, Andie secured 19th place among females and 4th in her age division (F20-24), with strong initial placements at Hydro Street where she placed 1st in her division. The race began at 6,303 feet and climbed to 14,061 feet, and Andie's pace evolved with the elevation. Initially rapid, she recorded a swift 6:41 min/mile pace at Ruxton, but understandably slowed as altitude increased. Notably, pacing adjustments followed elevation gain, climaxing with a 21:11 min/mile pace at the finish. Maintaining focus during the last three miles was essential, navigating altitudes above the tree line, and finishing among the top 10% of the total field of 2,049 participants.
