Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Tanvi Rao #22635 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Miles Power a Strong Half Marathon Finish Tanvi Rao completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 2:04:58, holding a consistent 9:32 min/mile pace across the distance. Her mile splits stayed remarkably even through the race, hovering between 9:12 and 9:51 for most of the course, with only mile 11 dipping slightly to 10:06 before she rebounded with a 9:12 split in mile 12 her fastest full-mile stretch of the day. That late surge suggests strong finishing strength and effective pacing discipline over the back half. Rao's race unfolded at altitude, with Boulder sitting above 5,000 feet, adding context to her consistent effort throughout. The course wound out past Boulder County backroads before delivering runners to the historic finish on the Pearl Street Mall, a fitting close to a well-paced performance built on rhythm rather than dramatic surges.
