Steady Early Pace Fuels a Strong Marathon Finish Giovanni Garcia completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:22:16, an overall pace of 10:00 per mile. He opened briskly, covering the first two miles in 8:39 and 8:04, the fastest mile-plus stretch of his race. Cumulative pace held in the 8:569:05 range through the middle miles before gradually easing, climbing past 10:00 per mile by mile 14 and reaching its slowest point near mile 21 at 12:11. He rallied over the closing miles, bringing his final mile home in 10:05. Garcia's race played out at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, a notable backdrop for his effort. Like all Boulderthon marathoners, he made his way out past the Boulder Reservoir and along the county backroads before turning for home, finishing on the historic Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder.
