Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Mia Driscoll #11109 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Early Miles Give Way to a Hard-Fought Closing Stretch Mia Driscoll completed the marathon in 4:23:32, holding a strong, even rhythm through the first 17 miles before the back half demanded more effort. Through the opening 17 miles, Driscoll's pace stayed remarkably consistent, hovering between 8:45 and 9:30 per mile, with miles 9 through 11 standing out as her fastest stretch of the race, averaging under 9:00 per mile. From mile 18 onward, her pace gradually eased, climbing past 11:00 and eventually into the 1213 minute range around miles 21 and 22 not coincidentally near the lululemon Power-Up Zone at roughly mile 22.5 before she rallied over the final miles into downtown Boulder. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, that early consistency reflects well-managed effort before the course's later demands took hold.
