Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Arnulf Taylor #11218 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Pacing Powers a Strong Boulder Finish Arnulf Taylor completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:03:49, finishing ahead of his 2023 (4:44:03) and 2024 (4:09:57) times, though just off his 2025 personal best of 3:56:24. After a slower opening three miles near 11:40 pace, he locked into a strong rhythm, holding between 9:00 and 9:15 per mile from mile 6 through mile 20 the most consistent stretch of his race. A dip to roughly 10:15 pace arrived over miles 2123, before he closed with a 9:35 final mile. That late-race dip came right around the lululemon Power-Up Zone, positioned near mile 22.5 on the marathon course. Given the course's altitude above 5,000 feet, holding sub-9:15 pace for 14 consecutive miles stands out as the highlight of this performance.
