Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Waylon Kannady #26553 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Finishing Kick Powers Steady Half Marathon Pace Waylon Kannady finished the half marathon in 1:45:47, an 8:04/mile pace. His race settled into a consistent rhythm through the middle miles, holding between 8:09 and 8:44 per mile from mile 3 to mile 9, before a sustained surge over the final four miles brought splits down to 7:31, 7:31, 7:13, and 7:15 his fastest stretch of the day and enough to pull his overall pace under 8:05 by the finish. That closing push came right around the lululemon Power-Up Zone, positioned near mile 9.5 of the half, a fitting boost before he shifted gears. Given how well he handled the second half at altitude in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, an even earlier commitment to that closing rhythm could be worth exploring next time.
