Strong Early Pace Carries a Top-3% Marathon Finish Cole Camp finished the marathon in 3:27:12, placing 87th overall and 77th among men out of the field of 3,305. He also took 20th in the men's 20-24 division. His pacing was steadiest through the first 11 miles, holding between 7:00 and 7:25 per mile before a brief mile-12 slowdown. From there he settled into a 7:15-8:00 rhythm through mile 20, then eased into the 8:45-9:30 range over miles 21-24 before closing with a 7:23 final mile. The opening 11 miles stood out as his strongest stretch, averaging roughly 7:20 pace and building an early cushion. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, that early consistency set up a solid overall result even as the closing miles slowed.
