Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Thomas Bradley #27626 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Effort Carries Half Marathon Debut Through the Back Miles Thomas Bradley finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 3:53:02. His opening mile was his fastest, at 12:32, and the pace settled gradually from there as the race progressed, with cumulative pace easing from the 12-13 minute range early on into the high teens by the finish. Miles 2 through 4 were his strongest stretch, covering that span in roughly 32 minutes for a pace near 15:52 per mile, the most consistent multi-mile effort of his day. The back half of the course brought a gradual slowdown, with splits settling into the 18-21 minute range from mile 7 onward. Given the finish on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, Bradley's ability to hold together over the closing miles after the early pace stands out as a positive sign for future half marathon efforts.
