Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Heather Rice #1854 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Performance with Strong Finishes Heather Rice completed the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon with a time of 3:41:14, maintaining an average pace of 8:26 min/mile over the 26.2-mile course. Notably, Heather consistently placed in the top 120 for her gender throughout the race, and finished 12th in her division (F40-44). Her pace stayed remarkably steady, with splits largely in the 8:208:30 min/mile range, demonstrating strong pacing strategy. Heather's strongest segment was between mile 9 and 10, where she achieved her fastest split time of 8:08 min/mile. This kind of consistency and focus indicates a well-executed pacing plan. Suggest taking note of the slightly slower splits, such as the 8:49 in mile 23, for future races to identify if adjustments are needed for even pacing throughout. Excellent job on a disciplined race and a solid finish among a field of 1,834 participants.
