Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Michael Perlman #1139 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Start, Consistent Performance Michael Perlman maintained a steady pace during the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon, clocking in a total elapsed time of 3:34:26 at an average pace of 8:11 per mile. Notably, he progressively improved his pace between miles 5 and 14, peaking with a 7:22 min/mile split in mile 13. This timeframe saw him slightly ascend the ranks, securing a solid position in his division. The latter half of the race presented challenges, with splits showing incremental slowing, notably a 10:00 min/mile at mile 21, which is a key opportunity for future improvement. Finishing 24th in his age division M45-49 across 1834 runners, Michael showed resilience. A focus on the final miles could potentially improve both placement and overall time in future races. Maintaining early mile pacing while refining the later stages could leverage this strong base performance into enhanced results.
