Steady Pace Through Halfway, Gritty Finish Late Benjamin Fowler completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:11:31, an average pace of 9:36 per mile. Fowler ran remarkably even through the first 18 miles, holding between 9:00 and 9:15 per mile and reaching the halfway point right on that rhythm. Miles 9 through 12 stood out as his strongest stretch, dipping to 8:51, 8:11, and 8:49 as he built cushion into the second half. The pace loosened from mile 19 to 24, climbing into the 10- to 12-minute range, before he rallied over the final two miles, closing in 10:00 and 9:22. The marathon's 2026 course, redesigned with a reduced net elevation gain of 603 feet, wound out past Boulder Reservoir before delivering runners to the historic finish on the Pearl Street Mall.
