Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Rylan Hodgson #20675 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Delivers a Top-1% Finish Rylan Hodgson crossed the line in 1:24:13, a 6:25 min/mile pace that placed him 70th overall and 60th among men in a field of 7,223. That result put him among the fastest finishers of the day. The race unfolded in two distinct halves: a brisk opening mile at 6:06 set the tone, followed by a gradual climb toward 6:47 by mile 8 as elapsed pace crept from 6:06 to 6:23. Hodgson then found a second gear, trimming his splits back down through miles 9-12, including a strong 6:16 twelfth mile, before easing to the finish. That recovery stretch carried him through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, and he sustained the effort at altitude in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, all the way to the Pearl Street Mall finish.
