Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Arthur Powers #12412 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Strong Finish Seals a Top-5% Marathon Effort Arthur Powers crossed the line in 3:41:52, placing 172nd overall and 147th among men in a field of 3,305. Powers opened fast, covering the first three miles in roughly 7:44 pace, then settled into a steady middle stretch through miles 1418 near 9:009:33 per mile. He closed strong, running miles 2426 in about 7:56 pace, his fastest sustained stretch of the back half. Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, adding context to the pacing shifts across the course. Powers' late surge, especially after mile 23, suggests he paced the middle miles with enough discipline to have plenty left for a confident push to the Pearl Street Mall finish.
