Date: Oct. 3, 2026 Participant: Nathaniel Vance #8010 Race: 2026 St. George Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong second half delivers a sharp division win Nathaniel put together an excellent Half Marathon in 1:15:09, averaging 5:44 per mile and winning the M 30-34 division. What stands out most is how well he finished: after going through halfway in 38:08 at 5:49 pace, he closed the second half in 37:02 at 5:39 pace. That is the kind of strength you like to see coming down into town, and it moved him up from 17th overall at mile 2 to 12th at the finish. He stayed steady early, with his first quarter in 18:48, then really got rolling over the second half of the race. Mile 8 was his quickest full mile in 5:30, and he backed that up with a pair of 5:35 miles at 10 and 11. His last two quarters were nearly matched at 18:29 and 18:34, a good sign of control on tired legs.
