Strong Pace Holds Firm Through the Rockies Salvador Castillo finished the marathon in 3:12:14, placing 33rd overall and 27th among men, with a second-place finish in the M35-39 division. His early miles were brisk, running 6:47-7:27 pace through mile 11, before settling into a steady rhythm near 7:10-7:20 through mile 20. The middle miles showed remarkable consistency, with elapsed pace holding between 7:05 and 7:12 per mile from mile 5 through mile 21 a strong stretch of sustained effort. Miles 21-25 brought a natural dip, with splits between 7:44 and 8:05, before he closed with a 7:37 final mile to finish under 3:15. Running this course at altitude, with Boulder sitting above 5,000 feet, makes that late finishing push especially notable.
