Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Louis Robinson #12917 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Pace Through Half, Gritty Finish Over the Back Miles Louis Robinson completed the Boulderthon Marathon in 4:14:18, an average pace of 9:42 per mile across the 26.2-mile course. Robinson opened with a tightly controlled effort, holding between 9:06 and 9:24 per mile through the first 20 miles, with a strong two-mile stretch from miles 5-6 that averaged 8:40 per mile, his fastest sustained running of the day. The pace eased over the final 10K, settling into the 10:00-11:00 range as fatigue set in, including through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, where his mile split read 10:13. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, the overall effort held together well, with the closing miles showing a natural, gradual fade rather than a sharp drop-off. Maintaining that mid-race rhythm a bit longer could help minimize the late slowdown next time out.
