Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Faith Frisby #10832 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Front Half Fuels a Steady Marathon Finish Faith Frisby completed the marathon in 3:52:15, an 8:51/mile average pace across the 26.2-mile distance. Her race showed a clear two-phase shape: the first 11 miles ran remarkably even, holding between 7:43 and 7:59 per mile, before the pace gradually eased over the back half. That opening 11-mile stretch stands as the standout segment of the race, with splits tightening around the 7:50 mark mile after mile. The second half brought a more gradual cumulative pace climb, settling near 8:52 by the finish, as miles 18 through 24 saw per-mile splits move into the 9:5011:09 range. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, the early consistency reflects well-paced effort before the demands of the marathon distance caught up in the closing miles.
