Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Jay Meyers #13110 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Pacing Powers a Strong Marathon Finish Jay Meyers completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:37:26, averaging 10:35 per mile over the 26.2-mile course. His race unfolded in three phases: an even opening three miles near 10:56 pace, a strong middle stretch where he dropped into the 9:4710:20 range between miles 6 and 17, and a late dip to 11:2411:32 around miles 2122 before rallying to close with sub-10:45 miles through the finish on the Pearl Street Mall. His fastest full mile came at mile 11, clocked in 9:47, marking the high point of a well-paced middle section. That surge came as the course wound through Boulder County backroads before runners approached the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5. Given Boulders elevation above 5,000 feet, Meyers ability to hold sub-11-minute pace for the majority of the race speaks to disciplined effort management across the distance.
