Strong Start Anchors a Steady Half Marathon Finish Denisse Anaya completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 3:01:07. She opened briskly, covering the first mile in 11:47 and holding an 11:47-12:15 min/mile pace through mile five, before easing through the middle miles. Her final mile came back down to 11:57, a strong closing effort that matched her early rhythm and brought her home on the Pearl Street Mall. The middle stretch from mile five to ten showed the race's toughest patch, with per-mile splits climbing into the 14-18 minute range before she settled again. Her fastest full mile came right at the start, mile one in 11:47, setting a pace she'd echo again in her final mile. Finishing on Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a city recognized as the Happiest City in America, capped a race defined by a fast start and a resilient close.
