Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Otis Parker #401 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pace Marks Solid Performance Otis Parker executed a strategic marathon at the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City event, maintaining a commendable average pace of 7:50 min/mile. His time of 3:25:29 over the 26.2-mile distance demonstrates consistent performance, with most splits tightly clustering around his average pace. Notably, his fastest split occurred in the ninth mile with a time of 7:23. Parker placed 287th overall out of 1834 participants and finished 50th in his division, for males aged 25-29. A highlight is how he improved his position from 281st at the first mile to within the top 300 for the majority of the race. Slightly adjusting pace during miles 20 and 21, where split times crossed the 8-minute mark, could enhance future results. Nonetheless, Parker's pacing strategy and ability to gain an edge in the final mile bode well for upcoming races.
