Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Jordan Gustafson #286 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistently Leading: Stellar 1st Place Performance Across All Divisions Jordan Gustafson delivered a remarkable performance at the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon, maintaining the top position in their gender and division throughout the race. Finishing in a total time of 3:18:08 for the 26.2-mile course, Jordan achieved an average pace of 7:33 min/mile. A noteworthy aspect of their race was the consistency, keeping split times between 7:12 and 7:54 min/mile, though the last few miles slightly slowed the pace. Maintaining strides between 7:13 and 8:19 min/mile demonstrates strong pacing discipline. While the split at Mile 25 saw a deceleration to 8:19 min/mile, there is potential to refine pacing strategies in the latter parts of a race to mitigate the slowdown. Impressively, Jordan still managed an overall placement of 227 out of 1834 participants, with a standout performance of maintaining first place in all gender X and division X categories.
