Steady Start Fuels a Strong Marathon Debut Push Ellie Wietecha finished the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:31:30, an average pace of 10:21 per mile across the 26.2-mile course. Her race opened briskly, with the first four miles ticking by in a tight 9:089:33 band, the fastest sustained stretch of her day. From there, cumulative pace held in the high 9:00s through the middle miles before easing gradually past mile 16, settling into the 10:3011:30 range as she approached the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5. She closed with a mile 26 split of 10:30, a solid rebound after the race's slower middle-late stretch. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Wietecha's ability to hold form through the finish on the Pearl Street Mall speaks well of her pacing discipline for a marathon of this length.
