Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Katherine Ngo #10802 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Start Sets Up a Steady Marathon Finish Katherine Ngo completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 5:48:00. She opened with a swift first mile at 9:11, holding sub-10:00 pace through the first six miles before settling into a more measured rhythm across the middle and later stages of the course. Ngo's fastest mile-plus stretch came early: miles 1-5 averaged roughly 9:35 per mile, well ahead of her overall 13:16 pace. From there, cumulative pace climbed steadily as the race wore on, reflecting the demands of the marathon distance. Boulder's elevation, over 5,000 feet, provides a demanding backdrop for any endurance effort at this length. Ngo's closing miles held in the 14:57-15:05 range, a stabilization after tougher mid-race stretches in the mid-to-high 16:00s, showing solid composure to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall.
