Elevated Half Marathon Results


The inaugural Elevated Half Marathon was a total blast! It's the first race to run down beautiful Little Cottonwood Canyon. When they say this course is fast, they're not kidding!

Miles 1-7:

6:58
6:56
7:03
6:57
6:55
6:51
6:59

The first half of this race flew by. I stuck with my typical fueling plan (a bite of GU every 10-15 minutes), and grabbed some water at each aid station.

Miles 8-13:

6:52
6:53
8:13
8:32
8:26
8:33

At the base of the canyon, runners hit a few small rollers. My pace obviously slowed here, but I was still ahead of my goal time. I crossed the finish at 1:38:50! My first sub-1:40 half!
