Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Patrick Kodweis #12312 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Opening Miles Anchor a Steady Marathon Finish Patrick Kodweis completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:08:12. His early pace was his sharpest work of the day: the opening mile clicked by in 8:17, and through 8 miles he was averaging 8:33 per mile, holding between 8:17 and 8:57 on every split. That first 8-mile stretch stands as his fastest sustained running of the race. From there, the pace eased gradually, settling into the 8:40s-9:20s elapsed range through mile 18. The final miles slowed further, with splits in the 10:22-11:44 range from mile 19 to the finish, pushing his overall elapsed pace to 9:28 per mile by the close. Kodweis finished the race at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet, a fitting stage for an event that closes on the Pearl Street Mall. A touch more reserve in the middle miles could help him carry that early rhythm deeper into the race next time.
