Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Bradley Kaiser #10990 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Early Pace Fuels Top-5% Marathon Finish Bradley Kaiser crossed the line in 3:34:18, good for 129th overall and 113th among men in a field of 3,305. Through the first 11 miles he ran consistently in the 7:127:42 range, holding a cumulative pace near 7:31 min/mile the strongest stretch of his race. From there the pace eased gradually, dipping into the 9:0010:00 range over miles 2125 before the closing mile. That early rhythm carried him through the marathon's backroads before the field turned toward downtown Boulder, with the lululemon Power-Up Zone marking roughly mile 22.5 as the late-race pace shifted. Finishing on the Pearl Street Mall at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Kaiser's disciplined opening miles set up a solid overall result. A touch more reserve through the middle miles could help him carry that early rhythm closer to the finish next time.
