Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Reti Ranniku #11924 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Early Pace Fuels a Top Finish Reti Ranniku finished the marathon in 3:32:15, placing 121st overall and 13th among women out of the field of 3,305 good for first in her 30-34 age division. Her race showed remarkable consistency through the opening two-thirds, holding between 7:44 and 8:25 per mile from start to mile 21, before easing to a still-solid 8:06 average pace overall. Her strongest stretch came in the first seven miles, where she covered the distance at an average pace of about 7:50 per mile, building an early cushion that carried her through the rest of the race. She passed through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5 as her pace eased slightly, a natural point in the course where many runners recalibrate before pushing toward the Pearl Street Mall finish in downtown Boulder.
