Her initial two miles were clocked at a steady 7:39 min/mile pace. The pace slightly slowed at the third mile, reaching 7:59 min/mile, likely due to the Hayes Hill segment, known for its steep gradient, which impacted her time with a split of 8:41.

Katie finished the race with a total time of 59:36, averaging an 8:00 min/mile pace, and placed 164th overall out of 1839 participants.
