Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Zachary Pinc #11832 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Front Half Gives Way to a Patient Finish Zachary Pinc completed the marathon in 4:30:35, an average pace of 10:19 per mile across the 26.2-mile course, out of a field of 3,305 participants. He passed the halfway point in just over 2:03, holding a consistent 9:20-9:35 pace through the first 17 miles before the effort naturally eased over the closing miles, settling into an 11-12 minute range from mile 20 to the finish. His sharpest sustained running came between miles 5 and 9, where he covered four miles in roughly 8:56 per mile, the fastest multi-mile stretch of his day. That effort came early in a course that finishes on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a city that sits above 5,000 feet of elevation, a backdrop worth noting given the pace he sustained through the middle miles before the final stretch home.
