Date: Oct. 3, 2026 Participant: Charles Anderson #11826 Race: 2026 St. George Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Fast finish and smart strength in the Half Marathon Charles ran a sharp Half Marathon in 1:20:35, averaging 6:09 per mile, and the best part was how he grew into it. He came through the first half in 41:31 at 6:20 pace, then cut that to 39:04 over the second half at 5:57 pace. That steady build showed up early too, moving from 57th at mile 1 to 29th by mile 5. Once the road turned him toward town, he looked especially strong on tired legs. After mile 7, he closed with real purpose: 6:10 at mile 10, then 5:48, 5:56, and 5:52 for miles 11 through 13. His final two quarters were his fastest at 19:46 and 19:18, a clear sign that he judged the day well and finished with confidence.
