Date: Aug. 29, 2026 Participant: Matt Polifka #2802 Race: 2026 Runtastic NEBO Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Performance and Division Leadership Matt Polifka demonstrated impressive consistency at the 2026 Runtastic NEBO Half Marathon, maintaining an overall average pace of 5:57 minutes per mile over the 13.1-mile course. His strategy was clearly steady throughout, with notable mile splits such as 5:47 at the start and a remarkable 5:38 pace recorded at mile 9. Although his pace slightly declined towards the end, with the final mile at 6:20, this did not significantly impact his strong performance. Polifka achieved first place in the M35-39 division and finished 10th overall out of 923 participants. His male gender placing was 5th among competitors. These statistics reflect his focus and endurance, especially the climb in standings from 12th to 7th overall at mile 10. Continuing to build on pacing strategies in the latter half of races could further improve his overall standing in future competitions.
