Consistent Start, Challenging Finish Tanner Miller clocked an overall time of 3:44:42 in the 2025 Mountains 2 Beach Marathon, running a steady early pace. The initial splits were impressive, maintaining a sub-7:40 min/mile pace from miles 1 to 8, with notable performances during miles 5 and 6, where the split pace was 7:22 min/mile. This early consistency placed him well within his division, reaching a peak position of 24th place within the male 35-39 division by mile 10. His ability to improve on pace from mile 1 to mile 10 showcased commendable stamina and efficiency in the early stages. Miller encountered some difficulty maintaining the initial pace after mile 16, with a noticeable slowdown from mile 21 onward. The split time for mile 21 was 11:30, and miles 22 to 26 saw splits averaging over 10 minutes per mile.
