Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Hannah Grady #10958 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Early Pace Gives Way to a Determined Final Stretch Hannah Grady finished the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:39:13, holding close to 9:45-per-mile pace through the first 6 miles before settling into the 10:00-10:30 range across the middle miles. The final 10K brought the most noticeable shift, with mile splits sliding to the 11:30-12:00 range as fatigue set in, yet Grady kept moving forward to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall. Miles 1 through 6 stood out as her strongest mile-plus stretch, covering that ground in 58:28, well under her overall elapsed pace of 10:39 min/mile. Given that this race finishes in downtown Boulder at over 5,000 feet of elevation, that early consistency is worth building on. A useful focus going forward could be extending that steady early rhythm further into the back half.
