Steady Improvement with a Strong Finish Jaxson from Boulder ran the 2025 Boulderthon Marathon with a steady and consistent performance, covering 26.2 miles in 4:02:26. He maintained an overall pace of 9:15 min/mile, placing 519th out of 2678 participants. Notably, his finish was strong, with later miles showing an increase in speed, notably the last mile covered in 8:32 min/mile pace. His performance within the M20-24 division showed a commendable upward trajectory.
