Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Lisa Brandt #10138 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Early Pace Gives Way to a Hard-Fought Finish Lisa Brandt completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:10:58, an average pace of 9:34 per mile. Her race built on a strong, controlled opening: through six miles she held between 8:46 and 9:00 per mile, and she stayed in a tight 8:539:52 band all the way to mile 20, keeping her cumulative pace inside a narrow 9:009:15 range for the majority of the race. The final 10K told a different story, with miles 21 through 25 slipping to 10:3511:35 pace before she closed with a 10:00 final mile. That opening six-mile stretch stands as the highlight of her day, the fastest sustained running of the race. She crossed the finish on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a fitting close after covering ground that included Boulder County backroads at over 5,000 feet of elevation.
