Strong Start Fuels a Steady Half Marathon Finish Annie Raymond completed the half marathon at 2026 Boulderthon in 1:50:08, an 8:24 min/mile pace. Her race opened fast, with the first six miles clicking off between 7:52 and 8:10 per mile, settling her cumulative pace near 8:02 through the halfway point. From there, the pace eased gradually, drifting into the 8:30s and 9:00s over the back half as fatigue set in, before a final mile at 8:37 brought her home. That opening 6-mile stretch stands as the highlight of the day, run more than a minute faster per mile than her closing miles. Miles 9 through 10 near where Boulderthons lululemon Power-Up Zone sits at roughly mile 9.5 marked her steepest single-mile slowdown, dropping to 8:55. Given Boulders elevation above 5,000 feet, holding sub-8:15 pace through the races first half was a solid foundation to build on for next time.
