Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Claire Kittridge #23050 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Builds Into a Strong Closing Kick Claire Kittridge finished the half marathon in 1:51:48, averaging 8:32 per mile. Her early miles held tight between 8:26 and 8:53, keeping cumulative pace locked near 8:35 through the first ten miles. The race sharpened from there: miles 11 and 12 dropped to 8:26 and 8:24, and she closed with her fastest full mile of the day, an 8:08 for mile 13, pulling her overall pace down to 8:32 by the finish. That late surge carried her past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, where her split had settled at 8:34, before she found another gear over the final three miles. Running at altitude in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, that closing effort stands out as the strongest sustained stretch of her race.
