Strong Front Half Fuels Steady Marathon Finish Christian Britting completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:25:30, averaging 10:08 per mile across the 26.2-mile course through Boulder, Colorado. Britting built his race in two distinct halves. After opening near a 10:07 pace over the first two miles, he settled into a strong rhythm, dropping as low as 7:44 by mile 11 his fastest mile of the day as he pushed his cumulative pace down to 8:47 per mile at the halfway point. That effort held firm through mile 18 before the back stretch slowed considerably, with mile 22 arriving near the lululemon Power-Up Zone around mile 22.5. Running at altitude above 5,000 feet, Britting's disciplined early miles set up a race defined by a fast midsection before the closing miles cost him ground.
