Consistent Pace with Strong Division Finish Steve Le maintained a remarkably consistent pace during the 2026 Surf City Half Marathon, completing the 13.1-mile course with an average pace of 6:14 minutes per mile. His finishing time was 1:21:41, placing him 4th in the Men's 40-44 division. Notably, Steve improved his placement in his division, finishing just outside the top three, which is commendable given the scale of the event with over 12,000 participants. Steve's progression through the race showed excellent velocity control. His splits reflected a steady pace, with minimal fluctuation in split timesmost varying by only a few seconds. While his fastest split was at mile 6 with a time of 6:01, he strategically maintained a sub-6:30 pace throughout the race. Moving forward, focusing on maintaining that speed consistently in the last few miles could further enhance his overall performance, potentially aiding in reducing the minor slowdown seen after mile 8.
