Steady Pacing Carries Strong Finishing Kick Kenzie Kubitschek covered the half marathon in 1:50:32, an 8:26 min/mile average. Her opening miles settled quickly into the low 8:20s, and by mile 5 she had built to 8:17 cumulative pace the race's most efficient stretch. A brief fade around mile 11, where her split slowed to 8:57, nudged her overall pace back to 8:28, but she answered with back-to-back 8:15 miles to close, pulling her final average back down to 8:26. That late surge came right around the course's lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, and her splits through that stretch held firm in the low 8:30s before the strong finish. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, her consistency across 13 miles reflects well-managed effort from start to finish.
