Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Kaitlin Dobi #1634 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pacing and Potential for Stronger Finish Kaitlin maintained a consistent average pace of 10:46 min/mile throughout the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon, finishing with a total time of 4:42:23. Notably, her pace was initially strong, with several miles in the earlier stages recorded below 10 minutes, such as miles 3 and 6 with 9:41 min/mile. This early momentum could indicate potential for improved performance with strategic pacing adjustments. A key observation is the pace variance in the latter part of the race, particularly between miles 20 and 23, where the pace dropped to 13:48 and 13:43 min/mile, respectively. These splits suggest an opportunity to work on endurance for the final miles. Despite the late-race slowdown, Kaitlin managed to maintain a consistent middle segment, demonstrating resilience and capability to hold a steady rate. Further focus on the finishing strong can enhance overall performance in future races.
