Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Katie Fox #1484 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pacing Gains Amidst Late Challenges Katie Fox completed the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon with an impressive display of pacing consistency. Her total time was 5:10:01, covering 26.2 miles at an average pace of 11:49 min/mile. Notable achievements include a steady improvement evident during the early to mid-race, such as gaining significant strides between miles 5 and 6 with a pace drop to 10:50 min/mile and achieving her fastest split at mile 12 with a 10:31 min/mile pace. While the initial race performance showed consistent strength, maintaining a steady pace longer could enhance her endurance across the race. The later stages showed signs of fatigue, particularly between miles 21 and 24, where split times increased to over 14 minutes, impacting her overall time and positioning. However, she managed a strong finish at mile 26 with a split time of 10:36. Exploring strategies to manage pace dips post-mile 20 could benefit future races.
