Steady Completion with a Strong Finish Katrina Rasband-Clarke participated in the 2026 Mesa Marathon Half Marathon, completing the race in 2:25:35 with an average pace of 11:06 min/mile. She excelled in maintaining a consistent pace throughout the course, displayed by her split paces ranging from 10:04 to 11:55 min/mile. An impressive aspect was her strong finish, significantly picking up her pace to 10:08 min/mile in the final mile. Her placement was 2702nd overall, 1326th in her gender category, and 164th in her division.
