Strong Front Half Fuels a Hard-Earned Finish Joel Kincaid completed the marathon in 4:35:23. His pace was even and controlled through the first 18 miles, holding between 8:45 and 9:35 per mile and settling to a 9:02 elapsed pace at the halfway mark of that stretch. From mile 19 onward, the pace slowed steadily, climbing past 12 and then 14 minutes per mile as the race wore on, closing with a 10:30 elapsed pace at the finish. The clearest highlight came early: miles 5 through 9 were run in a tight band from 8:35 to 8:56, the most consistent stretch of the day. That effort came at altitude, with Boulder sitting above 5,000 feet, and carried him toward the marathon's finish on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder.
