Steady Start, Challenging Finish Liam Holahan, 21, kept an impressive steady pace throughout the initial segments of the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon. Notably, his fastest split was at mile 12, where he clocked a 7:27 minute mile. His pacing stayed mostly between 8:00 to 8:05 min/mile from miles 1 to 10. This consistency highlighted his ability to maintain a controlled and moderate pace. However, the latter part of the marathon proved challenging. From mile 21 onward, pace gradually decelerated, eventually reaching a 14:36 minute mile by mile 25. Overall, Liam completed in 3:57:39, averaging 9:04 min/mile for the entire 26.2 miles. His placement was 442nd overall, a testament to his perseverance on a crowded field of 2,678 runners. A considerable positive takeaway can be Liams ability to maintain momentum during the first half, and addressing the late-stage slowdown could help achieve improved future performances.
