Strong Start Fuels a Hard-Fought Marathon Finish Hunter Keeley completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:13:15, an overall pace of 9:39 per mile. He opened with a swift first mile at 7:57, then settled into a steady rhythm through the middle miles, holding between 8:20 and 8:35 per mile from mile 4 through mile 18. That consistency built a strong cumulative pace that dipped as low as 8:22 by mile 11. The back half told a different story, as miles 19 through 25 climbed steadily from 10:29 to 17:02, pulling his overall pace up nearly a full minute per mile by the finish. His most efficient mile-plus stretch came early, from mile 4 to mile 9, averaging just over 8:10 per mile. Miles 22 through 26 took Keeley past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5 and on to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall, closing out a marathon run at altitude in downtown Boulder.
