Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: John Wilson #26857 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Sub-1:40 Effort Locks In a Strong Half John Wilson ran 1:39:59 to finish 356th overall and 287th among men in the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon, placing in the top 10% of the field. His pacing held firm through the first 10K before easing slightly over the closing miles, a common shape for a race finishing near the 1:40 mark. His strongest stretch came over miles 16, covered in 43:37 for a 7:16 pace, the fastest sustained running of his race. The second half slowed to roughly 7:55 per mile as the course carried him past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5 en route to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall. Given Boulders elevation above 5,000 feet, holding pace that closely across 13 miles reflects well-managed effort throughout.
