Steady Early Pace Fuels a Strong Marathon Push Through Halfway Annika Abramson finished the marathon in 4:31:32, an overall pace of 10:21 per mile over the 26.2-mile Boulder course. Her race built from a strong opening: the first 14 miles held tight between 8:41 and 9:26 per mile, keeping her cumulative pace near 9:05 for much of the first half. From mile 15 on, the pace eased steadily, settling into the 12-13 minute range through the 17-23 mile stretch, before tightening again to 10:27 for the final mile into downtown Boulder. That opening 14-mile stretch stands as the strongest of the day, run efficiently at altitude above 5,000 feet. Miles 21-22 carried her through the lululemon Power-Up Zone before the course turned toward the Pearl Street Mall finish.
