Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kelly Dixon #23901 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Surge Through the Middle Miles Carries Strong Finish Kelly Dixon completed the half marathon in 2:47:56. After an opening mile at 16:18, she found her rhythm, dropping to 9:23 for mile three her fastest mile of the race. Her pace held in the 11:0012:30 range through the middle miles before a mile nine dip to 18:45, after which she steadied again, closing out with a 12:06 final mile and a 12:48 elapsed pace overall. Boulder sits at over 5,000 feet of elevation, a backdrop worth noting for any half marathon finish here. Dixon's race shows a runner who adjusted well after a slow start and again after a mid-race lull, both times finding consistent footing. Working on smoothing out mile-to-mile variance, particularly around the mile eight-to-nine stretch, could help produce an even more even effort next time out.
