Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Devan Courtois #10571 Race: 2025 Portland Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Maintained Consistency with Room for Endurance Growth Devan Courtois completed the 2025 Portland Marathon with a total time of 4:54:09, averaging a pace of 11:13 min/mile over the 26.2-mile course. Her strong start was marked by consistent paces under 10:30 in the early miles, particularly maintaining a uniform pace of 10:05 min/mile from miles 4 to 6. This early consistency placed her at a notable position within her division, showing the effectiveness of her initial pacing strategy. In the latter stages, the elapsed pace gradually increased, with the slowest split recorded at mile 25, clocking in at 13:34 per mile. This might have contributed to her overall placement of 696th in the gender category. While Devan showed strong pacing initially, focusing on endurance in the later miles could enhance her future marathon experiences. Her team support from Fleet Feet Tacoma continues to provide a solid foundation for improvement.
