Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Scarlett Bratone #11038 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Start Fuels a Steady Fade Scarlett Bratone finished the Boulder marathon in 4:26:25, an overall pace of 10:10 per mile. She opened briskly, covering the first mile in 8:19 and holding sub-8:45 pace through mile five, the strongest sustained stretch of her race. From there the effort eased gradually, with per-mile splits drifting into the 10:3011:50 range from around mile nine through the closing miles, producing a race that built early speed before settling into a steadier, more measured second half. Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, a backdrop every runner on this course contends with, and Bratone's marathon closed the way every distance here does with a finish on the historic Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a fitting cap to a day that began fast and finished with composure.
