Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Tyson Barber #13111 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Pace, Strong Finish at Altitude Tyson Barber crossed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon finish line in 3:30:21, placing 110th overall and 97th among men in a field of 3,305. That's a few minutes off his 2025 result of 3:27:05, when he ran a slightly faster 7:54 min/mile average compared to this year's 8:01 min/mile. Barber's race unfolded with remarkable consistency, holding between 7:48 and 8:00 min/mile pace through the first 18 miles. His strongest mile came at mile 11, clocked in 7:34, marking his fastest split of the day. The closing miles saw a natural, modest fade, with splits settling into the 8:00-8:30 range as he pushed through the final stretch. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, maintaining such a tight pace band for the bulk of the marathon reflects strong pacing discipline.
