Steady Pacing Anchors a Top-10% Finish Natalie Abrahamson placed 548th overall and 130th among women in the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon, finishing in 1:45:12. That result lands her within the top 10% of the field. Her time continues a gradual year-over-year progression at this event, following 1:38:18 in 2023, 1:39:55 in 2024, and 1:43:46 in 2025. Abrahamson opened strong, clicking off her fastest mile of the race in mile 2 at 7:19, and held sub-7:50 pace through mile 7. A dip through miles 811, capped by a 9:04 split, pulled her cumulative pace back to 8:03/mile. She answered with a 7:48 mile 12, tightening her overall pace back down to 8:01/mile before closing out the final stretch into the Pearl Street Mall. Given the strong start, targeting a more even effort through the back half could help her chase her 20232024 form next time.
