Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Giancarlo Orlandi #11903 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Middle Miles Power a Strong Marathon Finish Giancarlo Orlandi completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:12:38, an average of 9:38 per mile across the 26.2-mile course. His pacing settled into a consistent rhythm through the middle portion of the race, holding between 9:11 and 9:48 per mile from mile 11 through mile 22 a strong, controlled 12-mile stretch that anchored his overall time after a slightly slower opening set of miles in the 9:50s and 10:07 range. Running at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet adds a layer of difficulty to any distance, and Orlandi's ability to maintain a tight, even pace through the race's midsection speaks well to his pacing execution. A dip to an 11:53 mile at mile 24 was followed by a strong rebound to 9:31 by the finish, showing solid closing composure after the tougher patch late in the race.
