Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Julie Nash #21293 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Start Fades Late, But Division Title Holds Firm Julie Nash finished the half marathon in 1:39:42, placing 344th overall and 67th among women in a field of 7,223 and she topped the F45-49 division. Compared with her 1:37:41 in 2023 and 1:35:58 in 2025, this was her slowest Boulderthon half, though the win in her age group stayed consistent across all three years. Her opening five miles were the highlight, holding a tight 7:137:14 per mile pace, well ahead of her overall 7:36 average. From mile 6 onward the pace eased, dipping to 8:18 by mile 11, before firming up again over the final two miles. Racing at Boulder's altitude, over 5,000 feet, that early consistency stands out as the strongest stretch of the day.
