Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Minja Savic #24732 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Pacing Powers a Smooth Half Marathon Minja Savic finished the half marathon in 1:51:59, an overall pace of 8:32 per mile. After an opening mile at 8:26, her cumulative pace held remarkably steady, settling between 8:33 and 8:38 per mile from mile five through mile eleven and never drifting far from that band the rest of the way to the Pearl Street Mall finish. Her strongest stretch came between miles nine and twelve, where she covered three miles in roughly 25:15, a pace near 8:25 per mile faster than her overall race pace. That surge came right around the lululemon Power-Up Zone, positioned near mile 9.5 of the half marathon course, suggesting she used that boost to accelerate through the second half of the race. It's a strong sign of pacing discipline at altitude in Boulder, sitting over 5,000 feet above sea level.
