Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kimberly Higgins #13139 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Front Half Gives Way to a Hard-Earned Finish Kimberly Higgins completed the Boulderthon Marathon in 4:23:54. She moved through the first 13 miles at a steady 8:208:30 pace, holding that rhythm through the middle miles before the pace eased gradually from mile 14 onward. The most demanding stretch came from mile 21 to 23, where per-mile pace slipped from the 9:00s into the 11:3016:00 range, the slowest three-mile stretch of her race. She closed the final miles by trimming back toward a 13:00 pace, finishing strong relative to that middle stretch. Boulder's altitude, over 5,000 feet, adds context to any marathon effort there. Her mile 22 split fell right around the course's lululemon Power-Up Zone, near mile 22.5. Like every distance at Boulderthon, her race ended on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder.
