Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Brittany Mclean #12825 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Miles Early, Strong Kick at the Finish Brittany Mclean completed the marathon in 4:26:24, holding a consistent 9:409:55 per mile pace through the first 20 miles. That steadiness reflects well-paced early management of a long course. The middle-to-late miles brought a natural dip, with pace easing to the 10:0011:00 range between miles 21 and 23, before a strong closing mile at roughly 9:08 pace her fastest sustained mile of the race helped her finish with authority rather than fade out. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds to the demands of any marathon distance, and her pacing discipline through the opening 20 miles stands out against that backdrop. She passed through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5 during the race's toughest stretch, and closed out on the historic Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder a fitting finish after a well-managed effort.
