Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kaylee Krizek #10626 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Mid-Race Surge Powers a Steady Marathon Kaylee Krizek finished the marathon in 4:09:30. She held a consistent rhythm near 9:10 per mile from the start through mile 20, then eased into the 10:0011:30 range over the closing six miles as the effort caught up with her. Her standout stretch came between miles 9 and 12, where she covered four miles at roughly 8:47 per mile the fastest sustained running of her race, anchored by an 8:13 split at mile 11. Given that Boulder sits above 5,000 feet of elevation, that mid-race surge stands as the clear highlight of her day. Carrying a touch more of that pace into the final miles could help smooth out the late fade next time.
