Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Catherine Thibodeaux #25723 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Early Speed Carries Half Marathon Finish Catherine Thibodeaux finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:39:36, an average pace of 7:36 per mile across the 13.1-mile course. Her race was defined by an aggressive opening pace: the first six miles were the fastest of her day, clocking in near 6:54 per mile on average, well under her overall pace. That effort settled into the high-7:00s to 8:00s through the middle and closing miles, a natural progression given the elevation in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet. She held that steadier rhythm through the finish on the Pearl Street Mall, closing with consistent 7:50s-8:00s over the final two miles.
