Strong Late Finish Improves Position Connor Swanson participated in the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon, covering a distance of 26.2 miles with an impressive finish time of 4:15:23. He achieved an overall pace of 9:44 minutes per mile. Notably, Connor maintained a consistent pace through most of the race, highlighted by a particularly swift 24th mile at 9:29.

Connor showed strong resilience, especially in his final mile, clocking in at 8:58, the fastest of his race.

His ability to achieve a negative split towards the end highlights potential for even faster finishes.
