Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Naser Mohammadi #10862 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Start Fades Late but Finishes Strong Naser Mohammadi crossed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon finish line in 4:29:44. His race followed a clear arc: a swift opening half through 8:009:00 miles, peaking with an 8:00 mile at mile 11, before a demanding middle third pushed his per-mile pace past 11:00 and eventually into the 13:00s and 14:00s between miles 15 and 23. He recovered in the closing miles, dropping back to 10:39 for mile 26 to close out the race with renewed strength. That stretch from mile 15 to mile 23 stands out as the race's toughest test, a sustained climb in pace that reshaped his overall time. Notably, his slowest miles came right around the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, a spot worth targeting for a stronger push in future races at this altitude, where Boulder's elevation over 5,000 feet adds its own demand on every runner's legs.
