Consistent Early Splits and Strong Finish Madison Hart completed the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with an overall time of 4:33:06, maintaining a consistent pace throughout the race. A notable start saw her first mile at a 9:38 min/mile pace, and by mile 2, she improved her split pace to 9:23 min/mile. This initial consistency helped her secure placements of 215th among females and 47th in her division (F20-24). Around mile 12, Madison achieved her fastest split at 9:04 min/mile. However, later segments showed a gradual slowdown, with mile 24 being her slowest at 12:21 min/mile. Despite the slowdown, Madison successfully regained some speed in the final leg, closing the marathon with slightly faster paces. Improving endurance in the latter stages could further enhance her performance. Overall, her steady pacing in the beginning and the ability to pick up the pace towards the end reflect strong potential for future races.
