Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kiana Powell #10398 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Front Half Carries a Steady Marathon Finish Kiana Powell completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:30:16. Her race showed a clear split in character: through the first 13 miles she held a tight, consistent rhythm, crossing the halfway point in roughly 1:52:04 with an elapsed pace near 8:37 per mile. From there, her per-mile pace gradually eased, settling into the 10:0014:00 range across the back miles before a strong final mile brought her home in 11:48. That opening 13-mile stretch stands out as the highlight of the day, run at a controlled sub-8:40 pace despite Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet. She passed through the lululemon Power-Up Zone around mile 22.5, part of the closing miles into downtown Boulder before finishing on the Pearl Street Mall.
