Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Anna Yoder #10755 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Pacing Through Halfway, Strong Finish on the Mall Anna Yoder covered the marathon in 4:12:26, holding between 9:11 and 9:51 per mile through the first ten miles before clicking off her fastest mile of the day, an 8:33 split at mile 11. Her pace held firm through the middle miles, hovering in the low 9:20s cumulatively, before the later miles brought a gradual rise past mile 20, reaching a 10:45 split at mile 24. She closed with a rebound to 9:28 over the final mile, finishing on the Pearl Street Mall. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds a layer of difficulty to any marathon effort. Yoder's late climb through the mid-20s came in the stretch that includes the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, a section where her pacing dipped slightly before she found another gear to bring it home.
