Even Early Pace Gives Way to a Strong Closing Mile Tia Williams finished the marathon in 4:20:38, an average pace of 9:56 per mile. She moved through the opening half in tight 8:40-9:10 splits, reaching the 13-mile mark in 1:58:32 for a 9:07/mile pace, before easing into the 10- to 11-minute range over the second half. That opening 13 miles stands as her strongest stretch of the day, run at nearly a full minute per mile faster than her overall average. She closed well too, dropping her final mile to 9:23 as she came into the finish on the Pearl Street Mall, capping off a marathon run at Boulder's mile-high elevation.
