Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Clara Laveran #11185 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Early Pace Fades, Then Rallies for the Finish Clara Laveran completed the marathon in 4:26:33, an average pace of 10:10 per mile across the 3305-entrant field. Her race opened briskly: the first seven miles clicked by between 8:58 and 9:16 per mile, the fastest sustained stretch of her day, holding an overall pace near 9:10 despite Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet. From there the pace eased steadily, dipping to a 12:00 mile split by mile 24, before she found another gear over the final mile, closing at 9:27 per mile as she came into the Pearl Street Mall finish. A repeat of that early-mile rhythm deeper into the back half could be worth targeting next time out.
