Strong Early Pace Carries Through a Steady Marathon Finish Brooke Wachuta completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:17:23, an overall pace of 9:49 per mile. Her opening miles were her strongest stretch: the first 11 miles clicked by between 7:56 and 8:32 per mile, holding an 8:15 cumulative pace through 11 miles. From there, mile-to-mile splits gradually eased, settling into the 10-13 minute range through the second half as cumulative pace drifted from 8:35 at mile 13 to 9:49 by the finish. Wachuta's marathon took her out past Boulder Reservoir and along Boulder County backroads before finishing on the historic Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder a course run at over 5,000 feet of elevation. Given the strength of her first 11 miles, she may find value in working on evening out her effort across the back half in future training cycles.
