Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Cameron Crawford #10668 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Start Fades to a Steady Finish Cameron Crawford completed the marathon in 4:23:28, an overall pace of 10:03 per mile. He opened briskly, covering the first five miles at 9:18 pace, then settled into the 9:30s and 10:00s through the middle miles before the final 10K slid into the 11:00s, finishing at a 10:03 average pace. His sharpest stretch came from miles 16 through 18, covering that three-mile segment at roughly 9:06 per mile, a clear lift after the choppier middle section. That surge carried him past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, where his pace had eased to just over 11 minutes per mile as fatigue set in on the closing miles into downtown Boulder. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, holding sub-9:20 miles early and rallying mid-race are both solid building blocks for future marathon efforts.
