Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Hannah Butlak #10724 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Middle Miles Anchor a Strong Overall Placement Hannah Butlak completed the marathon in 3:47:40, placing 220th overall and 36th among women in a field of 3,305. Her early miles ran in the 8:11-8:36 range before a brief dip to 9:56 at mile 9. She recovered quickly, settling back into rhythm through the mid-race, then eased gradually into the 9:00-9:37 range over the closing 10K as cumulative pace crept toward 8:41 min/mile by the finish even as she continued climbing the overall standings late in the race. The strongest stretch came from mile 10 to mile 18, where she held a tight band of splits between 7:44 and 8:38, averaging roughly 8:20 per mile across nine miles. That effort came at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet, adding weight to the steadiness shown there. She later passed the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5 en route to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall.
