Strong Early Pace Fades Late but Holds Top-Tier Finish Max Cazzato crossed the line in 3:15:40, good for 41st overall and 35th among men in a field of 3,305. Splits show a controlled, even effort through the first 17 mileseach mile falling between 6:37 and 7:02before the pace eased over the closing miles, with mile 21 at 10:20 marking the slowest stretch of the day. Even with that late fade, the front-half consistency carried him to a top-tier overall finish. That opening stretch, sustained at roughly 6:50 per mile through mile 17, stands as the highlight of the race. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Cazzato held that rhythm deep into the marathon before the final miles slowed toward the Pearl Street Mall finish, where all Boulderthon distances converge in downtown Boulder.
