Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Avisek Mohanty #13208 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Start Fades Into a Long Grind to the Finish Avisek Mohanty completed the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 6:50:24, an average pace of 15:39 per mile. He opened strong, covering the first five miles in roughly 12:52 per mile his fastest sustained stretch of the day before settling into a steadier rhythm that gradually eased through the middle miles and into the closing double digits, finishing with a 16:19 pace over the final mile. Mohanty passed through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, part of a course that runs out past Boulder Reservoir and county backroads before finishing on the Pearl Street Mall all at over 5,000 feet of elevation. Given his brisk early miles, he may find that holding back slightly in the opening five could help sustain pace deeper into future marathons.
