Date: March 29, 2026 Participant: Justin Williams #522 Race: 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Solid Early Race Performance with Consistent Splits Justin Williams displayed a strong start in the 2026 Saucony Love Run Philly Half Marathon, maintaining a swift pace of 5:18 min/mile for the first mile. During the initial phases, he impressively secured 1st place within his M20-24 division by the second mile. Despite a slight slowing trend, his ability to hold a position in the top 5 for several miles is noteworthy. His consistency throughout the entire course, especially with splits like 5:34 and 5:38 min/mile around miles 8 to 12, showcases determination and stamina. While Justin finished 5th in the M20-24 division, his overall performance placed him 20th out of 11,587 participants, which is commendable. The variation in split times, particularly between miles 10 and 13, suggests pacing strategy could be further refined. However, maintaining a steady pace in the latter half of the race provided a competitive edge among peers.
