Consistent Effort on Demanding Elevation Course Jason Munoz completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent with an elapsed time of 6:12:40 over a 13.36-mile course, achieving an overall pace of 27:53 minutes per mile. His determination was evident as he steadily climbed from an elevation of 6,303 feet at the start to a challenging 14,061 feet at the finish. Throughout the race, Jason maintained a consistent ranking within his division, finishing at 96th place among the O50-54 bracket, out of a total of 2049 participants. Jason's splits reveal an initial faster pace, clocking 11:37 at Ruxton. As the elevation increased, his pace adjusted in response to both elevation and fatigue, peaking at 49:28 in the final half-mile to the summit. Despite these challenges, Jason's performance improved notably on the stretch from Barr Camp, evident by his intermediary finish at 83rd place in his division with one mile to go. Focusing on endurance training at high altitudes could enhance future runs.
