Consistent Strength Displayed Despite Altitude Katlyn Williard completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon with an impressive elapsed time of 4:58:40. Starting from Littleton, CO, she consistently navigated the challenging terrain, finishing 284th in her gender and 44th in her division among 2049 total participants. Her pace across the 13.36-mile course was steady at 22:21 min/mile. The event saw her ascending from 6303 feet to an elevation of 14061 feet at the finish line. The progress through various marked splits showed a strategic decrease in pace while climbing higher elevations. Noticeably, the split from Barr Camp to Bottomless Pit witnessed a drop in pace from 18:54 to 23:34 min/mile, likely due to ascending. Her final half-mile split pace was 32:26 min/mile, underlining the challenging conditions at the finish line. Consider focusing on maintaining a steady effort earlier in high-altitude sections for future races to optimize performance.
