Steady Early Pace Gives Way to a Hard-Fought Finish Jim Lindblom completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:12:29, an overall pace of 9:38 per mile. He built his race on a strong, consistent front half, holding paces in the 8:50s through the first 13 miles before the back half gradually slowed, settling into the 10:0011:00 range over the closing miles and finishing with a 10:32 final mile. His standout stretch came between miles 9 and 13, where he covered that four-mile segment in roughly 8:30 per mile, highlighted by a 7:56 split at mile 11 his fastest mile of the day. That effort came at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, a demanding backdrop for maintaining sub-9 pacing through the midrace stretch.
