Date: Sept. 12, 2026 Participant: Whitney Peterson #3987 Race: 2026 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Progress with Consistent Pacing Whitney Peterson from North Ogden, UT, completed the 2026 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon with a final time of 2:24:05 and an average pace of 10:59 min/mile. Displaying strong starts, she executed her quickest mile in 9:27 during the first split, maintaining a focused and steady approach throughout the race. Notably, she managed the increasingly challenging terrain with a consistent mid-race split time at mile 5, clocking in at 9:11 min/mile. Whitney's mid-race performance was bolstered by a strong showing in the Female 25-29 division, consistently placing in the mid-100s. Toward the race's latter part, Whitney faced a slight slowdown, with miles 11 to 13 averaging around 13:27 min/mile due to the increased elevation gain and fatigue a common factor in endurance events. Ideally, focusing on strategic pacing adjustments and gradual endurance training could help improve later race performance. Overall, Whitney's consistent effort and well-registered paces reflect a determined performance in a competitive field of 2,630 participants.
