Consistent Splits Show Strong Divisional Finish In the 2026 M&T Bank Vermont City race, Whiskey's Magic Band ran a consistent marathon, maintaining an impressive average pace. Noteworthy is their steady pace in the first half, averaging around 6:29 min/mile through mile 13. This consistency resulted in securing the top position in the "Mens Open: any age" division from miles 5 to 18, and they maintained second place thereafter. The latter part of the race showed a slight increase in lap times, with paces ranging from 6:50 to 7:28 min/mile.

Maintaining early pace evenly into the latter kilometers could further enhance future performances.
