Marathon Pace Band for a 6:00:00 Finish

Six-hour cutoffs are common at larger marathons — and pacing still matters when you are on your feet that long. This band gives mile-by-mile targets for a 6:00:00 finish so you stay ahead of sweep vehicles without sprinting early miles.

Even pacing is a simplification: many six-hour runners mix jogging and walking. Treat these splits as guidelines and adjust your entered goal time if walk breaks are part of your plan. The strip is still easier than mental arithmetic at mile 22.

Print at actual size. Laminate the strip if you expect heavy sweat or rain.
