Date: April 26, 2026 Participant: Emma Huston #3117 Race: 2026 Eugene Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Initial Splits and Steady Performance Emma Huston maintained an impressive pace in the early stages of the 2026 Eugene Marathon Half Marathon, making a strong start with consistent miles clocking just under a 5:50 min/mile pace for the first three miles. This allowed her to secure a top position in her division, maintaining 3rd place up until the 5th mile. Her fastest split came in mile six with a pace of 5:38 min/mile, showcasing her capability for speed. Entering the second half, Emma displayed consistency in her pacing, which remained under 6:30 min/mile. The slower segments in her final miles, particularly miles nine through thirteen, where paces ranged from 6:06 to 6:26 min/mile, suggest a slight endurance fatigue. Despite fluctuations, Emma's overall time of 1:18:48 positioned her as 4th in the F30-34 category. Focusing on maintaining pacing consistency in later stages could further enhance future performances.
