Even Pacing Carries a Top-Tier Marathon Finish Alex Shumate finished the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 3:37:14, placing 150th overall out of the field and 128th among men a result inside the top 5% of finishers. His race unfolded with remarkable consistency: miles 1 through 10 sat tightly between 7:53 and 8:21, and his fastest mile of the day came at mile 11, clocked at 7:39. Pace held firm through the middle miles before easing modestly across miles 20-24, drifting into the high 8:30s and 8:50s, before he rallied with an 8:17 and 8:33 to close things out. That kind of control, sustained at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, speaks to well-managed effort across the full 26.2 miles.
