Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Emily Bradley #26149 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Start Fuels a Steady Half-Marathon Effort Emily Bradley crossed the finish in 3:53:23 for the half marathon. Her opening mile was by far her fastest at 12:41, and from there her pace eased steadily, settling into the high-teens and low-20s per mile through the back half of the course before closing with a 19:00 final mile. The race shape reflects a deliberate front-loaded effort: after that brisk first mile, cumulative pace drifted from 12:41 to 17:47 by the finish, with the toughest single mile coming at mile 11 (21:39). Around mile 910, she passed near the lululemon Power-Up Zone at roughly the half's 9.5-mile mark, a stretch where her pace held near 19:13. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, maintaining that late-race rhythm through to the historic Pearl Street Mall finish was a solid effort worth building on.
