Steady Pacing Anchors a Strong Marathon Finish Oliver Voorhees completed the marathon in 4:28:08, averaging 10:14 per mile. His cumulative pace stayed remarkably consistent through the middle miles, holding between 10:15 and 10:33 per mile from roughly mile 5 through mile 16. He then found another gear, running miles 17 through 20 in a combined stretch averaging under 9:50 per mile the fastest sustained running of his race before settling back into the 10:0011:00 range as fatigue set in through the mid-20s. A late mile 26 split of 9:30 capped the effort with a strong push toward the Pearl Street Mall finish. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Voorhees would have passed through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5 during that late stretch where his pace dipped slightly before rebounding for the finish.
