Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Stephen Colquhoun #2228 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Performance and Solid Cadence Stephen maintained a strong cadence throughout the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon. Covering 26.2 miles with an overall time of 5:36:40, his average pace was 12:51 min/mile. Notable was his performance in the first 15 miles, consistently under a 12-minute pace, with his fastest mile being mile 5 at 11:29 min/mile. During mile 6 and 9, Stephen showed impressive consistency in regaining position, moving up significantly in gender placements. Later on, from miles 16 to 26, Stephen demonstrated persistence, despite a gradual slowdown. Mile 26 was completed at 16:08 min/mile. This last stretch might suggest fatigue, but maintaining movement was vital. Encouragingly, throughout the race, his position stayed relatively stable compared to his peers, notably improving during mile 9 where he ascended to the 685th place out of 814 men. Small tweaks in pacing strategy in the latter part of the race could enhance endurance for future marathons.
