Strong Performance in High Elevation Challenge Brynn Sorice completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon with an elapsed time of 5:11:12, covering the 13.36-mile course at an average pace of 23:17 minutes per mile. She placed 1087th overall, 328th among females, and notably 10th in the Female 16-19 division. Starting at an elevation of 6303 feet, Brynn steadily advanced through significantly higher altitudes, with the course reaching over 14,000 feet by the finish. Brynn's pace varied as expected due to the increasing elevation and steeper slopes. She began with a swift 10:40 min/mile pace to Ruxton but slowed to a 37:05 min/mile pace by the finish. Her steady progression through the ranks—from 755th at the start to 994th with one mile to go—highlights her perseverance. Focus could be placed on maintaining a more consistent moving pace, especially in the steeper, final stretches above the treeline.
