Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Glenn Foley #10306 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Front Half Gives Way to a Tough Closing Stretch Glenn Foley finished the marathon in 4:28:45. His first six miles were remarkably even, all falling between 8:26 and 8:52 per mile, and he carried that rhythm through the half in roughly 8:50 pace across the first 13 miles. That opening effort was the clear highlight of his day. The back half told a different story: from mile 13 to the finish, his pace settled to roughly 11:38 per mile as fatigue set in, with miles 19 through 22 showing the steepest dip. Given that Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, holding sub-9:00 pace through halfway was a solid foundation. Going forward, Glenn might look at pacing strategies that preserve more of that early rhythm into the second half, particularly through the miles beyond 18.
