Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Stephanie Hill #20002 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Powers a Top-3% Finish Stephanie Hill crossed the line in 1:34:48, good for 217th overall and 42nd among women in a field of 7,223 at the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon. Her splits stayed remarkably tight throughout, holding between 6:59 and 7:33 per mile with no significant drop-off across the distance a sign of well-managed effort from start to finish. Her strongest mile came right at the end, closing the final mile in 6:59, the fastest split of her race, as she pushed through downtown Boulder to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall. Sustaining that kind of closing speed at over 5,000 feet of elevation reflects strong control of pacing. Given how evenly she ran the middle miles, she could experiment with a slightly faster early third to see if it draws even more out of that strong finishing kick.
