Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Cody Ashy #13650 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Early Pace Gives Way to a Tougher Back Half Cody Ashy finished in 4:21:45, a steady 9:59 min/mile pace across the marathon. His race showed a clear two-phase shape: a fast, controlled opening followed by a gradual fade over the closing miles. Through the first half he sat comfortably in the low 8:00s, but from around mile 18 onward his per-mile splits slid into the 10- to 14-minute range, pushing his overall pace up nearly two minutes by the finish. The standout stretch came in the opening 11 miles, covered at a steady 8:08 average pace, the fastest sustained running of his day. That effort carried him into downtown Boulder for the finish on the historic Pearl Street Mall, a fitting cap to a course run at over 5,000 feet of elevation.
