Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Jenna Smith #10261 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Pace Through 20 Miles Before a Tough Final Stretch Jenna Smith completed the marathon in 3:58:31, an overall pace of 9:06 per mile. Her race held remarkably even through the middle miles: from mile 1 to mile 20, she covered ground at a steady 8:208:40 per-mile clip, with miles 11 through 17 standing out as her most consistent mile-plus stretch, holding between 8:06 and 8:41 per mile. That composure was tested from mile 21 onward, where her per-mile times slid into the 10:0011:40 range before settling back to 9:40 for the final mile. Given that Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, holding that middle-mile rhythm for so long reflects strong pacing discipline before the closing miles took their toll.
