Steady Pacing Carries Him Through the Back Half Ian Hillenbrand finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:50:17, averaging 8:25 per mile. His race unfolded evenly, holding between 8:15 and 8:33 pace through the first seven miles before a brief dip to 9:02 at mile 8. He answered immediately, settling back into a 8:178:26 rhythm over the final five miles to close strong. His fastest mile came at mile 6, an 8:06 split that stood as the quickest stretch of his day. Racing at altitude in downtown Boulder, that consistency across the second half of a course that heads out past the Boulder Reservoir before returning to finish on the Pearl Street Mall reflects well-managed effort from start to finish.
