Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Rodrigo Salgado #10353 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pacing Anchors a Strong Boulderthon Finish Rodrigo Salgado crossed the line in 3:15:04, placing 37th overall and 31st among men in the 2026 Boulderthon field. That mark was just 21 seconds off his 3:14:43 from the 2025 race, a near-identical performance a year apart. Salgado's early and middle miles were his strongest running, holding in the high 6:40s to high 6:50s through halfway. His best mile-plus stretch came from miles 10 through 11, where he clicked off 6:32 and 6:10, his fastest sustained pace of the day. The closing miles told a different story, with pace easing into the 8:00-10:00 range from mile 21 to 24 a stretch that included the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, holding sub-7:00 pace for 20 miles before that fade is a strong foundation to build from.
