Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Bennett Rossi #11013 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Pacing Powers a Top-Tier Marathon Finish Bennett Rossi crossed the line in 3:29:34, placing 101st overall and 89th among men in a field of 3,305 at the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon. His pacing stayed remarkably even across all 26.2 miles, holding between 7:39 and 8:22 per mile throughout, with his elapsed pace never drifting outside a narrow 7:51-8:00 band. That consistency paid off late, as he moved from 122nd at mile 23 to 81st by the finish. His strongest stretch came at mile 11, clocked in 7:39, the fastest mile of his race. He passed through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5 still holding close to an 8:00 pace, a sign of well-managed effort on a course that finishes on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, itself sitting above 5,000 feet of elevation.
