Steady Progression with Notable High Altitude Resilience Julianne Moss completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon over a challenging 13.36-mile course with an elevation gain from approximately 6,000 feet to 14,000 feet. Her total elapsed time was 5:16:35, resulting in an average pace of 23:41 min/mile. Notably, her strongest improvement in rankings occurred between the "1.5 Miles to Go" split, where she moved ahead significantly from her previous overall position, finishing 184th among females. During the early stages, her pace was commendable, with a split time of 10:54 min/mile at Ruxton. As she progressed, particularly after reaching "Barr Camp" at mile 7.91 with a pace of 14:16 min/mile, time increased due to challenging elevation gains. Suggestions for improvement could focus on maintaining a steadier pace in the middle sections, which seemed to be where the ascent especially took its toll. Carefully analyzed pacing strategies could enhance overall performance and ease through the ascent's latter half.
