Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Layne Wagner #22666 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Finishing Kick Powers Steady Half Marathon Effort Layne Wagner completed the half marathon in 1:51:13, an 8:29/mile average pace. Her race built steadily: after an opening mile near 8:57, she settled into a consistent 8:30s rhythm through the middle miles before closing with her fastest mile of the day, a 7:58 split over the final mile, showing a clear negative-split finish. That last mile came as Wagner passed through downtown Boulder toward the Pearl Street Mall finish, a fitting cap to a race run at altitude above 5,000 feet. Her steady pacing through the middle miles, including a strong stretch near the lululemon Power-Up Zone around mile 9.5, reflected well-managed effort across a course that also carries a redesigned elevation profile for the half marathon distance.
