Fast Front Half Gives Way to a Grinding Finish Cameron Eide completed the Boulderthon Marathon in 4:09:34. He built an efficient opening, holding an 8:38-8:47 per mile pace through the first ten miles, then eased gradually into the 8:50s-9:00s range through halfway. The closing miles told a different story, with per-mile splits climbing steadily from 10:01 at mile 20 to over 12:00 by mile 24, a pattern that pushed his overall pace from 8:57 to 9:30 min/mile by the finish. Miles 5 through 9 stood out as his most consistent running of the day, holding tightly between 8:25 and 8:45 per mile. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Eide's disciplined early pacing gave him a solid foundation; building a bit more reserve for the closing miles could help him carry that early rhythm deeper into future marathons.
