Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Eric Anderson #24080 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Powers a Consistent Half-Marathon Finish Eric Anderson completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:51:56, holding a remarkably even 8:32 min/mile pace across the full 13.1 miles. His mile splits stayed within a tight band for most of the race, rarely straying more than 15 seconds from his overall average, a sign of well-controlled effort throughout. Mile 12 stood out as his strongest stretch, clocked at 8:16, a noticeable pickup after a slightly slower 11th mile at 8:46. That late surge helped him close strong, finishing with an 8:26 pace over the final mile. Given the race starts and finishes in downtown Boulder at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Anderson's ability to maintain such consistent pacing throughout speaks well to his race execution.
