Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Rachel Schilkowsky #24 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pace, Strong Finish Rachel Schilkowsky executed an impressive marathon performance at the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon, finishing with a time of 2:35:51. Maintaining a consistent average pace of 5:56 per mile across the 26.2-mile course, she secured the 2nd place position in the female category. A notable highlight includes achieving the 1st position in her division in multiple splits, such as miles 4, 6, and 12 through 26. Initial splits show a strong start with a 5:48 mile, while her steady pace between the 5:54 to 5:57 range is commendable. Rachel's strategic final push during the 23rd mile, where she clocked a 5:50 pace, reflects her endurance and racing strategy. While her performance is solid, fine-tuning would be beneficial to convert the frequent 2nd places into consistent 1st positions, particularly as the race progressed from mile 16 onwards.
