Let the time taken by Vince to complete the race was x hours. 
Maury completed the race 1.5 hours faster. This means Maury complete the race in (x - 1.5) hours.

Average Speed of Maury = 16 miles per hour
Average Speed of Vince = 12 miles per hour

Distance = Speed x Time.

For Maury:
Distance = 16(x - 1.5)

For Vince:
Distance = 12x

Since the distance covered by both was the same, we can equate the two equations as:

16(x - 1.5) = 12x
16x - 24 = 12x
4x = 24
x = 6 
This means Vince complete the race in 6 hours.

Distance = Speed x Time = 12 x 6 = 72 miles

Thus, the total distance of the race was 72 miles.
