Strong Pace Through 20 Miles Gives Way to a Tough Final Stretch Mitchell Torres finished the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 3:22:36, placing 62nd overall and 54th among men in a field of 3,305. Through halfway, and well beyond, his pacing was remarkably steady, holding between 7:05 and 7:15 per mile from mile 1 through mile 20, with a strong mile 17 split of 6:49. That consistency built him into the top 50 overall by the 19-mile mark before the closing miles took a toll, as his per-mile pace slowed considerably from mile 21 onward. That stretch from roughly mile 21 to mile 24 lines up with where the course passes through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, a demanding section for many runners at that point in the marathon. Given the elevation in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, the effort through this closing stretch stands out. Torres might look to that late section as the target for building strength in future training cycles.
