Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Tyler Anderson #10438 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Steady Effort, Gradual Fade Over 26.2 Miles Tyler Anderson finished the 2026 Boulderthon Marathon in 4:22:43, a step back from his 3:55:36 finish at the 2023 race. His pace held in the 9:40-9:50 per mile range through the first half, then eased steadily rather than sharply, closing out the back half in the 10:00-10:50 range and finishing with an overall elapsed pace of 10:01 per mile. His strongest sustained stretch came over the first 13 miles, covered at roughly 9:40 per mile, the quickest sustained running of his race. By the time he reached the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 22.5, his pace had drifted into the 10:30-10:50 range, a natural spot to consider drawing on a boost next time out. Racing at Boulder's altitude, over 5,000 feet, adds context to the consistency he showed across the opening miles.
