Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Liz Meyers #10662 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Early Pace Anchors a Strong Marathon Finish Liz Meyers completed the marathon in 4:38:40, an average pace of 10:38 per mile, finishing 983rd overall and 245th among female finishers in a field of 3,305. Meyers ran the first 13 miles remarkably evenly, holding between 9:20 and 9:58 per mile and reaching the halfway point in 2:04:11 a pace right around 9:33 per mile for that stretch. That consistency built a solid cushion before the effort naturally eased over the closing miles, with pace settling into the 10:3013:00 range from mile 18 onward. The final mile ticked back down to an 11:00 split, a strong closing push after the tougher middle-to-late stretch. Given Boulders elevation above 5,000 feet, that early rhythm through the first half stands out as the highlight of the race.
