Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Katie Doucette #22580 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Pacing Anchors a Top Finish Katie Doucette crossed the line in 1:19:37, placing 36th overall and 6th among women in the half marathon field of 7,223. Doucette's race unfolded in two clear phases: an aggressive opening five miles under 5:55 pace, followed by a steady middle stretch that settled into the low 6:00s before a strong final push brought her home. Her fastest mile came right out of the gate, a 5:43 split that set the tone early. Miles 7 through 9 saw a slight cost from that early pace, but she rallied over the closing miles, running 5:56 and 6:02 to finish with authority. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, holding sub-6:05 pace across the full distance reflects well-managed effort throughout.
