Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Nick Tautimer #11750 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Front Half Fades Into a Hard-Fought Finish Nick Tautimer completed the marathon in 4:30:16, an average pace of 10:18 per mile across 26.2 miles. The race opened briskly: the first 13.1 miles clicked by in roughly 1:50:15, an 8:28 pace, with several miles dipping under 8:20. From mile 14 on, the pace eased steadily, and the closing miles from 20 to 26 slowed to the 1116 minute range as the effort of the earlier miles caught up. That opening 13-mile stretch stands as the clear highlight of the day, run at altitude in a city sitting over 5,000 feet, before the course's later miles took their toll. The final miles carried him past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5 and on to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder.
