I have done the Rachel Carson Trail Challenge the past three years. The following were my split times:
| » 2005 | » 2006 | » 2007 | |
| Start mile | 5:41 | 5:50 | 5:55 |
| 1st checkpoint | 8:17 | 8:05 | 8:41 |
| 2nd checkpoint | 10:44 | 11:09 | 11:30 |
| 3rd checkpoint | 13:38 | 13:33 | 14:15 |
| 4th checkpoint | 17:48 | 16:28 | 17:45 |
| Finish mile | 20:22 | 19:59 | 20:35 |
| Total | 14:41 | 13:49 | 14:41 |
In the 2007 challenge, I wore a pedometer and recorded my step counts at each checkpoint.
| Miles | Time | Step count | |
| Start mile | 0 | 5:55 | 1105 |
| 1st checkpoint | 8 | 8:41 | 19479 |
| 2nd checkpoint | 7 | 11:30 | 34881 |
| 3rd checkpoint | 5 | 14:15 | 46327 |
| 4th checkpoint | 8 | 17:45 | 58149 |
| Finish mile | 7 | 20:35 | 79090 |
