Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Matthias Maser #11842 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Fast Start Fuels a Hard-Won Comeback Matthias Maser finished the Boulderthon Marathon in 4:26:46. He moved through the first 15 miles at a strong, consistent pace in the low 9:20s per mile, then hit a rough patch between miles 16 and 21, where his pace slipped to a 13:44 split at mile 21. From there he turned things around, working his way back down to a 9:36 mile-26 split that nearly matched his early race rhythm. That final surge came right around the lululemon Power-Up Zone, positioned near mile 22.5 of the marathon course, as Maser pulled his pace back down after the race's toughest stretch. Running at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet, his closing miles stand as the strongest sustained rebound of his race.
