Below is an instruction that describes a task. Write a response that appropriately completes the request in Swahili. Please answer in Swahili.

### Instruction:
A 26-mile circular marathon has four checkpoints inside it. The first is one mile from the start line, and the last checkpoint is one mile from the finish line. The checkpoints have equal spacing between them. How many miles apart are each of the consecutive checkpoints between the start-finish line?

### Response:
 Ikiwa kituo cha kwanza na cha mwisho kiko maili 1 kutoka kuanzia na kumalizia mtawalia, basi viko umbali wa 26 - 1 - 1 = 24 maili kati yao.
Kwa kuwa vituo vimepangwa kwa nafasi sawa, kila kituo kiko umbali wa 24 / 4 = <<24/4=6>>6 maili kati yao.
