Date: Sept. 20, 2025 Participant: J'ne Day-Lucore #32 Race: 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles Weather: Chilly start. Heavy winds (tail/cross wind). Sunny at the finish.

Steady Progress and Strong Finish for Age Division Podium J'ne Day-Lucore completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent with an elapsed time of 4:34:19 over 13.36 miles, achieving a pace of 20:32 min/mile. She secured the 3rd place in the F60-64 division out of 2049 participants. Improved pacing was evident compared to her previous year's finish of 4:48:37, reflecting an impressive progression, particularly in altitude adaptation and endurance. Starting strong at Ruxton, she maintained a consistent approach through the middle sections, increasingly challenging as elevations reached above 13,000 feet. Despite slowing notably in the final splits due to gained elevation, her late-race efforts to quicken amid high-altitude challenges were significant—illustrated by her divisional placement from Hydro Street through 2 Miles To Go. This race demonstrates an enhanced ability in high-altitude sections, showcasing the benefits of targeted altitude training and endurance building.
