Stellar Performance Earns Top Finish Jennifer Smith completed the 2026 Runtastic NEBO Marathon with a total time of 2:59:38, maintaining an impressive average pace of 6:51 min/mile. Her outstanding performance earned her the 1st place finish in her gender and division, and 9th place overall out of 308 participants. Jennifer demonstrated consistency and strategic pacing throughout the race. A notably strong push between mile 21 to 25, with her fastest pace at 6:00 min/mile at mile 23, helped secure her top spot. Starting with a 7:19 min/mile pace in the first mile, Jennifer gradually increased her speed. By mile 13, she surged with a 6:56 min/mile pace, indicating strong endurance. Maintaining speeds under 7:00 min/mile in the latter stages, particularly a swift 6:12 min/mile at mile 25, reflects her ability to accelerate in the final stretch. For future races, focusing on maintaining this strong drive throughout could further enhance her results. Great job, Jennifer!
