Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Joshua Dan #22946 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Start Fades Into a Steady Grind Through the Finish Joshua Dan completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 2:31:45, covering the 13.1-mile course through the field of 7,223 participants. His race showed two distinct phases: a brisk opening five miles holding between 9:58 and 10:15 per mile, followed by a marked slowdown from mile six onward, with mile seven proving the slowest stretch of the race at 14:05. The back half settled into a steadier rhythm in the 11:0013:30 range as he worked toward the finish. Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, a backdrop for any half marathon effort in town. Dan's early miles reflected sharp pacing discipline, and building a similar buffer into the middle miles could help sustain that opening rhythm deeper into future races on this course.
