Faster Finish, Bigger Gains Cassandra Hoisington ran the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:47:15, improving on her 2025 finish of 1:49:34 by more than two minutes. Her pace also tightened, from 8:21 to 8:11 per mile, and she moved up nearly 200 spots in the overall standings year over year. Hoisington's race unfolded with a strong opening third miles 1-6 clicked by between 7:40 and 7:58 per mile before settling into a steadier rhythm through the back half. Her first six miles were the standout stretch of the day, holding sub-8:00 pace as her cumulative time stayed under 7:47 per mile through mile 4. From there, pace gradually eased toward the finish, a natural progression given the sustained early effort. Boulder's altitude, over 5,000 feet, adds context to the steady overall pacing across the 13.1 miles.
