Strong Finishing Kick Powers Top-50 Finish Delia Bakal placed 243rd overall and 46th among women in the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon, finishing in 1:36:04. She was second in her 15-19 age division, a placement worth noting. Bakal's race followed a steady early rhythm, holding between 7:13 and 7:25 pace through the first six miles. A slight dip came through miles 7 and 8, with splits of 7:35 and 7:41, before she rallied over the closing miles. Her strongest full mile came at mile 13, clocked at 7:04, capping a finish that trimmed her overall time back down toward a 7:20 average pace. That closing surge carried her into downtown Boulder and onto the Pearl Street Mall, a fitting finish to a race run at altitude above 5,000 feet.
