Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Cy Fowler #12109 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Early Pace Gives Way Late Cy Fowler completed the Boulderthon Marathon in 4:36:23, finishing 49th in the Male 15-19 division. He built an early cushion, covering the first 11 miles in roughly 8:41 pace, before the second half of the race pulled his overall pace down to 10:32 min/mile by the finish. His strongest stretch came between miles 9 and 11, where he ran 8:31, 8:09, and 8:22 - his fastest mile-plus segment of the race. From mile 18 onward, his per-mile splits climbed into the 11- and 12-minute range, with a rough patch through mile 21, before he steadied over the closing miles with back-to-back 11:46 splits. Given that Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, holding that early rhythm as long as he did reflects well on his pacing strategy.
