Consistent Pacing with a Strong Mid-Race Surge KC Craig completed the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon with a final time of 4:44:35, averaging a pace of 10:51 min/mile. Notably, she maintained a consistently strong performance in her division, finishing 26th in the F45-49 category out of 1834 competitors. Her split times highlight a steady pace from miles 5 through 12, where her pace ranged from 9:50 to 10:26 min/mile, showing excellent rhythm and control. This strong mid-race effort was a stand-out part of her race strategy. While her pace dipped in mile 26, with a significantly slower split time of 28:53, this might allow for reflection on maintaining energy in the final stretch. Moving forward, maintaining that earlier steady pacing could be key to enhancing final mile performance. Overall, her ability to sustain and even pick up speed through miles 13 to 25 demonstrates resilience and a solid foundation of endurance.
