Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Simon Broan #11080 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Fast Start, Faster Finish Simon Broan finished the marathon in 5:00:34, an overall pace of 11:28 per mile. He opened briskly, covering the first six miles between 10:03 and 10:29 each, holding close to a 10:12 pace through the first 10K. The middle miles cooled into the 12-13 minute range from roughly mile 14 onward, then eased further into the mid-teens around mile 21-23. He answered with a strong close, running his final full mile in 8:57 his fastest mile of the race carrying that surge onto the historic Pearl Street Mall finish. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds context to the effort behind that time, especially given the strong rebound in his last mile after the tougher middle stretch of the course.
