Consistent Momentum with Strong Finish Kyle McKinnon from Tigard, OR, performed commendably at the 2025 Portland Marathon with a final time of 3:46:18, averaging an 8:38 min/mile pace over the 26.2 miles. Throughout the race, he maintained a remarkably consistent pace with slight variations, such as an impressive sub-8:30 split recorded between miles 11 and 12. Notably, Kyle ended the race strong with an 8:04 final mile, demonstrating effective pacing strategy and energy management. Kyle improved from his previous race performance at the 2024 Portland Marathon by finishing roughly 17 minutes faster and elevating his place significantly from 957th to 652nd overall out of 3445 participants. In addition, he boosted his division (M40-44) placement to 51st, an ascension from 110th—a promising trajectory. One area to watch might be the splits from mile 22 to 23, where pace slowed to 9:13. Adjusting this could further enhance overall performance in future races.
