Steady Early Rhythm Gives Way to a Tougher Back Stretch Joseph Hutchinson, 22, of Denver, finished the marathon in 4:00:20, an average pace of 9:10 per mile. He ran the first 18 miles with tight consistency, holding between 8:16 and 9:08 per mile the entire way, before the pace eased over the closing eight miles as splits moved into the 9:2011:44 range. His strongest stretch came over the first 13 miles, covered in 1:50:50 for an 8:31 per mile average with almost no variation split to split. That steadiness held into the second half before the terrain past mile 18 coincided with the gradual slowdown. Late in the race, he passed through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, a stretch run at over 5,000 feet of elevation as the course made its way back toward the Pearl Street Mall finish.
