Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kristina Anacker #22904 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Carries Strong Half Marathon Finish Kristina Anacker finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:51:05, an 8:28 min/mile pace. She opened with an 8:06 first mile and held that rhythm through mile 7, crossing at 58:05. Miles 8 and 10 brought her only real dip, at 9:00 and 8:54, before she rallied with an 8:18 twelfth mile her fastest full mile after the early miles closing the race with a strong final push. Her cumulative pace stayed remarkably tight across the full 13.1 miles, drifting from 8:06 to 8:28 despite the late-race unevenness. That consistency reflects well-managed effort given Boulder's altitude above 5,000 feet. Anacker's field position placed her well within the competitive range of the 7,223 participants, and her final miles suggest she has room to push the middle section with similar discipline next time.
