Stellar Division Win with Strategic Pacing Kate Nourse exhibited outstanding performance in the Marathon at the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City race. Over a total distance of 26.2 miles, she maintained an overall pace of 7:27 min/mile, completing the race in 3:15:16. Notably, Kate secured 3rd place in the F16-24 division, consistently ranking 1st in her division through the first 15 miles. Her strategic pacing was evident as she initially posted faster paces, starting with a 6:35 min/mile in the first mile, and subsequently adjusting as the race progressed. As a coach, it's commendable how she handled the initial stages with consistent pacing under 6:50 min/mile for the first 5 miles. Between miles 16 and 26, slight slowdowns occurred, peaking with a split of 8:40 in mile 23.
