Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Blake Horstmann #24818 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady 8:00 Pace Carries Him Into the Top 10% Blake Horstmann finished the half marathon in 1:44:55, an 8:00/mile pace, placing 535th overall and 409th among men in a field of 7,223. His mile splits stayed remarkably tight all race, rarely drifting outside the 7:498:12 range and never breaking his rhythm for long. The fastest full mile came at mile 9, clocked in 7:49, right as he moved through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5. That surge set up a strong close, with his final full mile ticking by in 7:50 evidence of well-managed effort from start to finish rather than a fade at the end.
