Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kate Tanner #22915 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Through a Late-Race Dip Gives Way to a Strong Finish Kate Tanner completed the half marathon in 1:50:29, an 8:26 min/mile pace. Her first eight miles were remarkably consistent, holding between 8:03 and 8:46 per mile, before a ninth-mile slowdown to 9:45 briefly broke her rhythm. She answered immediately with a 7:51 mile ten, her fastest stretch of the race, and carried strong paces through to the finish. Tanner's race unfolded at altitude, with Boulder sitting above 5,000 feet, making her sub-8:30 average pace over the full distance a solid output. Her closing miles, including a 8:06 final mile, brought her onto the Pearl Street Mall with strong momentum after recovering well from the mid-race dip. The overall shape of her race, tight early mile splits followed by a resilient response to a rough patch, reflects well-managed effort across the distance.
