Consistent Performance Leads to a Strong Finish The runner from Underhill showcased resilience and pacing throughout the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City Marathon. With an elapsed time of 2:41:01, he maintained an average pace of 6:08 min/mile across the 26.2-mile course, placing 2nd in the overall, gender, and division categories among 444 participants. Notably, he displayed a strong push during the latter part of the race, achieving a 5:37 min/mile split at mile 9, which helped elevate his position. A well-balanced start, with consistent early splits in the 6:06 to 6:13 min/mile range, set a solid foundation. He notably improved pace around mile 8 and maintained sub-6:00 min/mile paces in several late miles, particularly miles 22 to 24, showcasing impressive stamina and speed endurance. The gradual decrease in pace towards the end suggests an opportunity to further fine-tune endurance to maintain speed, especially in the final miles.
