Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Emile Haig #10146 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Early Pace Carries Marathon Debut Despite Late Fade Emile Haig finished the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 3:25:57, placing 83rd overall and 74th among men in a field of 3,305. Through halfway he was locked into a tight 6:357:28 per-mile rhythm, holding elapsed pace right around 7:037:07 min/mile from miles 5 through 19. That consistency built a solid cushion before the closing miles slowed considerably, with mile 24 alone landing at 12:19 min/mile as the elapsed pace drifted from 7:08 to 7:50 min/mile over the final 10K. His strongest mile-plus stretch came early, covering miles 513 near or under 7:05 min/mile average, a segment that anchored the overall result. That section of the course also passed near the lululemon Power-Up Zone around mile 22.5, just before the pace began to slip. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, the front-half execution stands out as the clear strength of the race, with the closing miles offering room to build endurance for a future marathon.
