Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Elizabeth Devaney #22211 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Devaney Slices Half Marathon Time by Over 30 Minutes Elizabeth Devaney ran a 1:30:19 half marathon, finishing 144th overall and 23rd among women, placing third in the F35-39 division. That result marks a significant improvement over her 2024 Boulderthon half, where she crossed in 2:04:19. Devaney's pacing tightened steadily across the race: her opening mile came in at 7:29, and her cumulative pace dropped mile over mile until settling near 6:52 by the finish. Her strongest mile-plus stretch came late, with mile 12 clocked at 6:19, the fastest full mile of her race. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, the negative-split effort stands out as the defining feature of her performance, showing strength built through the second half rather than the first.
