Consistent Effort with Room for Strategic Gains Brian Mosier completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent in 4:29:48, maintaining a strong performance throughout the 13.36-mile climb. Starting at an elevation of 6303 feet, he swiftly moved up 804 places from his initial position, an impressive feat indicating strong pacing at the onset. His swiftest pace, 8:58 min/mile, was recorded between the start and Ruxton over 0.43 miles. However, by the end of the race at 14061 feet, his pace notably slowed to 30:09 min/mile—common as the incline and altitude increased. Though the last miles saw a drop in places and pace, Brian maintained a solid middle placement of 485th in the open male category out of thousands of participants. His performance remained steady, particularly through intermediate landmarks like Barr Camp, where he clocked a respectable 18:03 min/mile pace. refining strategies in the final segments could help optimize his overall finish time in future races.
