Consistent Pace with a Solid Effort Pavithra Chetan from Portland, OR, delivered a performance marked by consistency during the 2025 Portland Marathon's 10K MindRX Group. With an elapsed time of 1:14:23 and an average pace of 11:59 min/mile, Pavithra maintained a steady tempo throughout the race. Each mile saw slight variations, ranging from an initial mile at 10:44 min/mile to later splits just above or below 12:00 min/mile.
