Strong Start with Potential to Improve in Second Half Otto Morlock delivered a steady performance in the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon. He completed the 26.2-mile race in 4:51:47, averaging an 11:08 min/mile pace. Otto's early splits showed promising consistency, improving pace from 10:33 min/mile at the first mile to 9:51 min/mile by mile 6, reflecting an ability to maintain pace effectively in the initial stages. Around the mid-point, Otto's performance remained commendable up to mile 13 with a steady pace close to 10:03 min/mile. A mild slowdown began at mile 14, transitioning to an 11:14 min/mile pace.
