Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Harrison Simon #20547 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Late Kick Closes Out a Steady Half Harrison Simon finished the half marathon in 1:50:15, a race built on a steady middle before a sharp closing surge. After opening near 8:38 per mile, his cumulative pace hovered in the high-8:30s through the middle miles, then began dropping steadily, reaching 8:25 by the finish. His strongest sustained stretch came from mile 11 to mile 13, covering that two-mile span at roughly 7:41 per mile the fastest sustained running of his race. Racing at Boulder's altitude above 5,000 feet, Simon carried that closing strength all the way to the finish on the historic Pearl Street Mall, turning a well-paced middle section into a confident final push through downtown Boulder.
