Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Collin Wall #12788 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Front Half Fuels a Top-Finish Marathon Collin Wall crossed the line in 3:31:37, placing 119th overall and 106th among men out of the field of 3,305. His pace held remarkably steady through the first eight miles, averaging 7:06 per mile, the fastest sustained stretch of his race. From there, effort gradually eased, with per-mile splits drifting past 8:00 by mile 19 and into the 9:0011:00 range over the closing miles as cumulative pace slid from 7:22 at mile 17 to 8:04 at the finish. That late stretch fell in the section of the course that passes the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, a notable landmark given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet. Given the strength of his opening miles, Wall might consider a slightly more even pacing strategy in future marathons to carry that early rhythm further into the back half.
