Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Roxy Trotter #25721 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Powers a Strong Half-Marathon Finish Roxy Trotter finished the Half Marathon in 1:47:03, placing 621st overall and 162nd among women in a field of 7,223. Her race showed remarkable consistency, with mile splits hovering between 8:01 and 8:22 for the majority of the distance. The final mile stood out as her fastest of the day, clocking in at 7:52, a strong closing surge that helped her finish among the top 10% of the field. Trotter's even effort through Boulder County backroads, which included a run out past Boulder Reservoir, speaks to well-managed pacing before the finish on the Pearl Street Mall. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, holding sub-8:15 pace for that stretch reflects disciplined effort. Runners looking to build on this result might consider slightly negative-splitting the middle miles to mirror that final-mile strength earlier in future races.
