Strong Opening Miles Give Way to a Hard-Fought Finish Matthew Levine completed the marathon in 4:11:47, an average pace of 9:36 per mile. His race was defined by two distinct halves: a controlled, even first 13 miles clicked off in 1:50:07, averaging 8:28 per mile, before the second half brought a steady rise in per-mile pace as fatigue set in through the closing miles. Miles 1 through 13 stand out as the strongest stretch of the day, holding tightly between 8:16 and 8:44 per mile with no significant fade. From there, the pace gradually eased, with the more pronounced slowing arriving between miles 20 and 23. Levine finished on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a course that sits above 5,000 feet of elevation a fitting context for the steady effort he sustained through the race's demanding second half.
