Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Alex Herman #256 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Start, Manageable Finish Alex Herman completed the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon with a total time of 3:34:49, averaging an 8:11 min/mile pace over the full 26.2 miles. During the first 9 miles, Alex maintained a steady pace around 7:45 to 7:47 min/mile, marking a disciplined start. Alex's effort was noted with fluctuation in placement among 1834 participants, peaking at 244th overall and 193rd among men at the 6-mile mark, aligning performance with the 7:45 pace. In the later stages, the pace incremented to an 8:11 min/mile average, with mile splits ranging between 8:09 and 9:28 min/mile. Distance from the starting mark increased the variability in the splits, culminating in a final placement of 393rd overall and 304th among male participants. Future strategies could include sustaining the mid-race split paces to stabilize the overall finish time. Alexs consistent early pace provides a great platform for this adjustment.
