Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Alyssa Doss #24374 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Powers a Faster Half Alyssa Doss finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 2:36:31, improving on her 2025 result of 2:38:38 and tightening her overall pace from 12:06 to 11:56 per mile. Her mile splits stayed remarkably even through the race, hovering between 11:17 and 12:18 for the first ten miles, before a brief dip to 13:17 at mile 11. She responded well, closing with her fastest mile of the day, an 11:11 split over the final mile, to push her cumulative pace back down before the finish. This year's half marathon course carried nearly 50% less net elevation gain than before, dropping from 384 to 203 feet, a notable shift for a race run at over 5,000 feet of altitude. Doss's strong final mile suggests she may have had more to give on the earlier climbs a good target for her next trip to altitude.
