Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Lane Faison #10876 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Early Pace Anchors a Strong Marathon Finish Lane Faison finished the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 3:29:36, placing 104th overall and 92nd among men out of the field of 3,305. Faison's race unfolded in two distinct halves: a controlled, even opening through mile 18, holding between 7:22 and 7:30 per mile, before a natural fade in the back miles as elapsed pace drifted to 8:00 by the finish. His most impressive stretch came in miles 1 through 18, where he stayed within an eight-second band, a rare display of pacing discipline over such a long stretch. The final 8 miles slowed to the 9:00s as fatigue set in, though he rallied over the last two miles, dropping to an 8:40 for mile 26. That finish came atop Boulder's 5,000-plus feet of elevation, adding to the day's demands.
