Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Anthony Martinez #12241 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Start Fuels a Determined Marathon Finish Anthony Martinez completed the Boulderthon Marathon in 4:22:16. He opened briskly, covering the first seven miles in 56:14 for an average pace of 8:02 per mile, and held close to 8:15 pace through the middle miles. The final 10K brought a marked slowdown, with per-mile splits stretching past 12 and 13 minutes as the race wore on, shaping a clear positive-split effort across the 26.2 miles. That opening seven-mile stretch stands as the highlight of the day, the fastest sustained running of the race. Martinez's late miles came as the course pushed past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5 en route to the historic finish on the Pearl Street Mall. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, the early pace made for a demanding foundation before the course's backroads stretch tested the closing miles.
