Consistent Pacing and Strong Finish Alison Maxwell displayed impressive consistency at the 2026 Eugene Marathon with a final time of 2:42:18, sustaining an average pace of 6:11 min/mile. She maintained a remarkably consistent pace throughout, with many mile splits between 6:08 to 6:14 min/mile. Notably, Alison improved her position over the latter half of the course, moving from 150th overall at the start to finishing 103rd, an impressive climb across the field of 5499 participants. Her results in the F30-34 division were notable, securing 4th place.
