Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Amanda Lutz #23949 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Powers a Strong Half Marathon Finish Amanda Lutz completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:52:50, holding a consistent 8:36 min/mile pace across the 13.1-mile course. Amanda's race showed strong control from start to finish. She opened with a brisk 8:09 first mile, then settled into a rhythm that hovered between 8:20 and 9:03 for most of the race. Her final mile ticked in at 8:20, matching her mile 12 split and demonstrating strong closing strength a solid mile-plus stretch to finish on, especially considering Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet. This kind of pacing consistency across a half marathon is a great foundation; if Amanda wants to shave time in a future race, tightening the mid-race miles (particularly miles 3, 4, and 9, each over 9:00) could be a worthwhile focus.
