Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Luke Robinson #11224 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Mid-Race Surge Powers Steady Marathon Finish Luke Robinson completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:09:58, an average pace of 9:32 per mile. His race built steadily: after opening miles near 9:35-9:40 pace, he found his rhythm through the middle miles, gradually trimming his cumulative pace mile after mile. The standout stretch came between miles 14 and 20, where Robinson covered nearly seven miles between 8:25 and 9:07 per mile, pulling his overall elapsed pace down from 9:31 to 9:16 - his fastest sustained running of the day. That effort came as the course approached the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, a section runners hit after covering significant ground at over 5,000 feet of altitude. The closing miles cooled off relative to that peak, but the mid-race push stands as the clear highlight of his marathon.
