Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Marie Boyle #25581 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Powers a Strong Finish Marie Boyle finished the half marathon in 1:45:32, placing 562nd overall and 139th among women in the field of 7,223. Her mile splits stayed remarkably tight throughout, mostly ranging between 7:42 and 8:27, with cumulative pace never straying outside 8:018:06 per mile until the closing miles. Her strongest stretch came late: miles 12 and 13 combined for roughly 7:44 per mile, a sign of a well-managed closing effort rather than fading energy. Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, a backdrop worth noting for a race run at this pace. Given how evenly she split the course, Boyle could experiment with a slightly faster early move next time, since her legs clearly had more to give in the final miles.
