Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Andrew Dolliver #11205 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Middle Miles Anchor a Steady Marathon Effort Andrew Dolliver completed the Boulderthon Marathon in 4:12:29, averaging 9:38 per mile. After settling into a rhythm through the first ten miles near 9:20 pace, he found his groove from miles 4 through 11, holding a strong 9:03 average before the mid-race miles crept toward 9:25. The final 10K brought a natural fade into the 10:4011:00 range, though he closed with a solid final mile back down to 9:54, showing a strong finishing kick after the tougher stretch. That sustained mile 411 stretch stood out as the fastest sustained running of his day, a notable stretch given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet. Running the marathon's 2026 course, which cut net elevation gain by roughly 40 percent, Dolliver's steady pacing through the tougher closing miles reflects well on his overall endurance and pacing strategy.
