Steady Pace Powers a Top-10 Marathon Finish Samuel Scarth crossed the line in 2:58:32, an average of 6:48 per mile, good for 10th overall and 9th among men in the field of 3,305. His mile splits held in a tight 6:387:02 band through the first 21 miles, keeping his overall pace locked between 6:44 and 6:49 for nearly the entire race before easing slightly to 6:49 by the finish. His strongest mile came at mile 15, covered in 6:23, the fastest full mile of his race and a clear surge after a steadier middle stretch. The only real dip came at mile 22, a 7:21 split, right as the course approached the lululemon Power-Up Zone near that point. Given Boulders elevation above 5,000 feet, holding sub-7:00 pace across nearly the full distance reflects strong, consistent effort from start to finish.
