Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Allyson Young #25726 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Fuels a Strong Finish Allyson Young finished the Half Marathon in 1:47:03, placing 623rd overall and 163rd among women out of a field of 7,223. Her race showed remarkable consistency, with mile splits hovering between 8:02 and 8:27 for most of the distance before she closed with her fastest mile of the race, a 7:50, to cross the line strong. That final surge came after passing through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, where her pace held firm at 8:06. Given that Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, maintaining such tight, even splits from start to finish reflects well-managed effort. If there's one area to consider for next time, finding a bit more of that closing-mile strength earlier in the race could shave a little off the overall time.
