Steady Pacing Through Halfway Fuels a Strong Finishing Kick Nicole Moore completed the marathon in 4:38:34. She moved through the first 17 miles in tight rhythm, holding between 9:10 and 10:30 per mile, before a stretch from mile 18 to 21 slowed to the 1213 minute range. She then rallied over the closing miles, dropping back into the 10:30s by mile 26 to close out the race. That early stretch stood out: miles 1 through 9 averaged under 9:45 per mile, the fastest sustained running of her race. Her effort came over Boulder's 2026 marathon course, redesigned to cut net elevation gain from 982 feet to 603 feet, at an elevation over 5,000 feet.
