Date: May 16, 2026 Participant: Relay Mellissa Trejo's Team #9017 Race: 2026 Ogden Marathon Relay Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent High Performance with Increased Pace Relay Mellissa Trejo's Team from West Bountiful, UT, delivered a remarkable performance in the 2026 Ogden Marathon Relay with an overall time of 4:15:05, displaying a consistent pacing strategy. They maintained a steady average pace of 9:44 min/mile over 26.2 miles. Impressively, the team managed to hold a spot in the top four in the Female category throughout the race, demonstrating strong determination and stamina. The team showed exceptional early consistency with most early splits averaging around 8:30 min/mile, with strong positions like 2nd in their gender through the initial half. A noted point for improvement could be the slowdown observed in the later miles, particularly miles 13 through 15, which saw paces exceeding 10:50 min/mile. This race was a significant progress from their previous year's marathon participation, which had a slower pace of 11:59 min/mile. Keep building on that momentum, and look to strategize maintaining pace through the latter miles.
