Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Josh Williams #21067 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Powers a Strong Half-Marathon Finish Josh Williams finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:29:52, an average pace of 6:51 per mile, placing 137th overall and 116th among men in a field of 7,223. Williams ran a remarkably even race, holding between 6:45 and 6:53 elapsed pace through the first ten miles before closing with his strongest stretch: miles 11 through 13 came in at 7:06, 6:47, and 6:35, the fastest sustained running of his race. That late surge, achieved at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, moved him up significantly in the closing miles. With such consistent pacing already in hand, Williams could look to bring that late-race strength earlier next time for an even faster finish.
