Date: Oct. 3, 2026 Participant: Sean Newcomb #15 Race: 2026 St. George Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Fast, steady marathon with a strong climb and a division win Sean put together an excellent St. George Marathon, finishing in 2:27:22 at 5:37 per mile and winning the M30-34 division. What stands out first is how sharp he was early: through 7 miles he was right around 5:17 pace, with splits of 5:08 and 5:08 before handling the Veyo climb in 6:06 and 5:52. He stayed composed there, then settled right back in and reached halfway in 1:12:09. The middle of the race was especially strong. From mile 15 to 18 he ran 5:13, 5:04, 5:31, and 5:30, and by mile 16 he had moved up to 5th overall. Even late, with miles 22 through 26 ranging from 5:50 to 6:34, he kept racing all the way to town and still finished 14th overall out of 5,987.
