Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Ashley Miranda #24734 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Slow Start Gives Way to a Sharp Second-Half Surge Ashley Miranda finished the half marathon in 1:44:18, averaging 7:57 per mile, placing 508th overall and 113th among women in a field of 7,223. Her race told a story of two distinct paces: the opening three miles crept by at roughly 15:11 per mile before she found her stride, slashing her pace dramatically for the remaining ten miles to bring the overall average down to sub-8:00. The turning point came at mile four, completed in 7:14 after that slow opening stretch, and she held that faster tempo through the rest of the course. That surge carried her past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5 before she closed out on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a finish that sits at over 5,000 feet of elevation.
