Steady Start with Strong Finishes The Tan Browns delivered a consistent performance at the 2026 Deseret News Marathon with an overall time of 4:50:03 for the 26.2-mile relay. Their splits show a strong start, recording three consecutive miles at a pace of 9:52 min/mile. Notably, they climbed up to 7th in overall standing and topped their division at the fourth and fifth miles. As the race progressed, they faced a couple of challenging splits, particularly during the later stages, with mile 24 hitting a 14:25 min/mile pace. However, they finished with encouraging placement, securing 9th in their division in the final miles. Speed work could help improve their late-race pacing, but their ability to maintain a challenging pace early and finish with solid splits is commendable. Focusing on overall endurance might streamline the final stages of future long-distance events.
