Consistent Performance and Solid Division Finish Nikki Medwetz completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent with an elapsed time of 4:28:47. Over the 13.36-mile course, she maintained an elapsed pace of 20:07 min/mile. Her positions fluctuated throughout the race, starting at 680th place overall at the start and finishing at 632nd overall. Impressively, Nikki's strong engagement during the race saw her reach notable intermediate phases like Hydro Street in 12:31 and Barr Camp in 2:07:49. She consistently climbed places, notably securing 20th in her division (F45-49). Starting at Ruxton, she progressed from 39th in her division to 23rd and improved further to 14th by Hydro Street. Although she temporarily moved to 24th at Barr Camp, she displayed resilience by closing out at 20th in her division.

Concentrating on the final ascent phases may yield time improvements.
