Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Ashton Kanhai #22183 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Second Half Rescues an Early Fade Ashton Kanhai finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 3:10:32. His opening miles were his strongest, clicking through the first five in under 13:00 per mile, before miles 6-8 slowed sharply toward a 14:35 cumulative pace by mile 8. From there, Kanhai found his footing again, holding steady between 14:20 and 14:44 per mile from mile 9 to the finish a mile-plus stretch of consistency that stabilized his overall pace right through the Pearl Street Mall finish. Boulder's elevation, sitting above 5,000 feet, adds a layer of difficulty to any effort at this distance, and Kanhai's ability to level off after the mid-race dip speaks to solid pacing discipline in tough conditions. A slightly more even split between miles 5 and 9 could smooth out the overall arc next time.
