Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Andrew Jahnke #13008 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Start Fuels a Steady Marathon Finish Andrew Jahnke completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:13:41. He moved through the first 10 miles at a consistent pace between 7:47 and 8:29 per mile, reaching halfway near 8:15 per mile overall. The middle miles held firm through mile 14, and miles 8 through 11 stood out as his strongest mile-plus stretch of the race, with splits dipping as low as 7:47. From mile 15 onward, per-mile splits gradually eased into the 9:5213:48 range as cumulative pace drifted from 8:27 to 9:41 per mile by the finish. Boulder's elevation, sitting above 5,000 feet, adds context to the overall effort across the 26.2-mile course, which finished on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder. Jahnke's disciplined opening miles gave him a solid foundation, and maintaining more of that early rhythm through the closing miles could be a useful focus for future marathon efforts.
