Consistent Excellence with Strong Finishing Pace The "Harts of Goold" team from Richfield, UT had an impressive performance at the 2026 Deseret News Marathon, finishing with an overall time of 3:08:02. Their steady average pace of 7:10 min/mile kept them consistently ahead, maintaining first or second place in their division throughout the race, and displayed significant endurance. Notably, they excelled in the final stretches, picking up speed with a standout split pace of 6:12 min/mile at mile 15. The team held an impressive grip on first place in their division across several strategic miles, particularly from the 18th to the 21st mile. They demonstrated an ability to pick up pace effectively toward the end, especially between miles 23 and 24, showing a perfect balance of endurance and strategic pacing. For future races, sustaining their early initial mile paces could reduce the need for late-race acceleration. Keep up the excellent work and continue building on this performance!
