Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Jack Davila #11066 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Early Pace Gives Way to a Grinding Back Half Jack Davila covered the marathon in 6:13:00, an overall elapsed pace of 14:14 per mile. His pace tightened through the middle miles, dropping from 12:55 at mile 1 to 11:43 by mile 8 as he built momentum. From there, elapsed pace crept upward through the second half, settling near 14:12 by the finish as a few slower stretches, including a 22:45 split at mile 22, pulled the average back. The clear highlight came between miles 4 and 8, where Davila logged five straight miles between 10:18 and 11:27, his fastest sustained running of the race. That stretch, run at over 5,000 feet of elevation in Boulder, stands out as the most consistent portion of his effort, offering a strong foundation worth building on for pacing the later miles just as evenly.
