Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kivan Daruwalla #23375 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Anchors Strong Top-Two-Percent Finish Kivan Daruwalla finished the Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:29:05, placing 129th overall and 109th among men in a field of 7,223. Daruwalla's race was defined by remarkable consistency, with his cumulative pace holding between 6:39 and 6:48 min/mile from the first mile through the finish. His strongest stretch came in the opening 5K, where he clicked off miles in 6:30, 6:48, and 6:47 to build an efficient foundation. A brief dip near mile 8 (7:08) was quickly corrected, as he closed with a 6:46 mile 12. Given this pacing discipline, Daruwalla could consider testing a slightly faster early rhythm in future half marathons, particularly given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet.
