Consistent Start, Challenging Finish Emma Dixon's performance at the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon showcased a consistent early pace and a steadily increasing end pace. She started strong, maintaining an impressive pace below 11:30 min/mile for the first half, notably achieving a faster split at mile 9 with a 10:29 min/mile pace, which was a standout moment. Her place improved significantly in those first nine miles, moving from 1226th to 1114th overall. In the latter part, miles 16 through 26 evidenced some fatigue, as her pace slowed, peaking at 15:48 min/mile during mile 21. Consistently placing well in her division early on, she dropped slightly towards the end, finishing 111th in her division. Emma's ability to hold consistent splits early on illustrates good initial pacing strategy. Looking ahead, focusing on later miles could help maintain that early momentum right through to the finish line.
