Consistent Effort Amidst Elevation Gain Julia Rozzell completed the 2025 Pikes Peak Ascent half marathon with an impressive total time of 5:46:47 over a distance of 13.36 miles, starting at an elevation of 6303 feet and ascending to 14061 feet at the finish. Her overall pace was 25:57 minutes per mile, with an impressive climb through challenging terrain. Throughout the race, Julia maintained a steady effort, starting with a strong 11:24 minute per mile pace at Ruxton and adjusting her pace effectively as elevation and distance increased. Her strongest split pace of 13:31 minutes per mile was observed at Hydro Street. In particular, the section from Barr Camp to Bottomless Pit shows considerable endurance against steep elevation, with her pace remaining just under 29 minutes per mile despite the increased challenge. For future races, focusing on maintaining consistency in these tougher segments could optimize time even further.
