Date: May 24, 2026 Participant: Jason Young #1696 Race: 2026 Vermont City Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pace with a Strong Finish Jason Young maintained a steady and improving pace throughout the race. His splits show well-managed speed increments, starting with an 8:29 min/mile for the first mile, and progressively improving to 7:18 min/mile at mile 9. Notably, he maintained sub-8-minute splits until mile 20. At mile 9, Jason achieved his best placement, being 42nd in his division. From mile 10 onwards, his pace steadily ranged around 7:35 to 7:52 min/mile, contributing to an average marathon pace of 7:52 min/mile. In this marathon, Jason ranked 308th out of 1,834 total participants and 245th amongst male competitors. The latter half of the race showed some time degradation, particularly noticeable in splits beyond mile 20, with peaks reaching up to 9:20 min/mile. Jasons result of 3:26:27 demonstrates endurance, though a slight reduction in pace consistency towards the end suggests potential areas to target for pacing strategies in future races. Congratulations on this respectable performance.
