Mary Gillett's Consistent Improvement on Pikes Peak Mary Gillett from Longmont, CO, demonstrated notable progress in the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent Half Marathon by completing the course in 4:23:42, an improvement over last year's 4:32:07. Her overall pace was 19:44 min/mile, showing a marked increase in speed compared to 2024's 20:22 min/mile. An impressive highlight is her movement through the ranks, finishing at 586th overall, advancing from the previous year's 610th. Mary climbed from 33rd to 22nd in the F25-29 division, a testament to her consistent effort. Notably, her time from Barr Camp to the finish saw slower progression, with the last split at a 25:48 pace. Focus on maintaining a steady pace, especially during high-altitude sections, could yield even better results next year.
