Steady Improvement and Notable Finish Jason Ghent maintained a consistent performance in the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with an overall pace of 9:49 minutes per mile over the 26.2 miles. His precise pacing shows in his varied split times, notably achieving a 5:44 minute mile at mile 5, where he placed 106th in his division. He concluded with a total elapsed time of 4:17:14, placing 721st overall out of 2678 participants, and 124th in the M25-29 division. From mile 1 to mile 4, Jason's pacing decelerated from 9:45 to 10:45. However, he regained rhythm with progressively faster splits from mile 5 onwards, including a resilient 8:33 split pace at mile 19. Maintaining a steadier and slightly faster pace throughout the latter parts of the race could capitalize on his strong finish and improve placements. Consistent split management suggests clear pacing strategy, adaptable to potential exhaustion late in the race.
