Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Vanessa Meyers #10252 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Pace Powers a Division Title Vanessa Meyers crossed the finish in 3:47:46, placing 222nd overall out of the field and 38th among women good enough for first in the F45-49 division at the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon. Meyers ran the first 11 miles briskly, holding an 8:08 cumulative pace, highlighted by a 7:41 mile 11 split, her fastest of the race. From there, her cumulative pace drifted gradually into the mid-8:30s as the course wore on, with a tougher patch around mile 21 (11:45) coinciding with the climb toward the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5. She answered well, closing miles 24 through 26 in the 8:528:54 range to finish strong. Given Boulder's mile-high elevation, her final 8:41 min/mile pace for the marathon reflects a well-managed effort from start to finish on the Pearl Street Mall.
