Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Olivia Killian #22286 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Through Ten Miles, Strong Finish to Pearl Street Olivia Killian covered the half marathon in 2:05:13, holding a remarkably even effort through the first ten mileseach mile falling between 9:02 and 9:44, with elapsed pace never drifting outside a 9:129:22 window. Mile 11 brought a dip to 11:09, but she rallied over the final two miles, closing in 9:44 and 9:42 to finish on the Pearl Street Mall. That opening ten-mile stretch stands as the highlight of her race, a tight, disciplined pace band rarely seen in long-distance splits. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, maintaining that consistency for so long speaks to well-managed effort. A touch more reserve through mile 11 could help smooth the closing miles even further next time.
