Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Ryan Kearney #26848 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Carries Him Through a Strong Half Marathon Finish Ryan Kearney finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:45:13, an 8:01 min/mile pace. His fastest mile came right out of the gate at 7:32, and after settling into the high-7:00s and low-8:00s through the middle miles, he closed with a 7:41 final mile, his second-quickest of the day. That closing surge reflects well on his overall management of the effort. Kearney passed the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5 holding an 8:01 min/mile pace, right in line with his overall average for the race. He raced the 2023 Boulderthon Marathon in 3:50:11, an 8:47 min/mile pace, so this half marathon showed a notably quicker pace across a shorter distance. Given Boulder's altitude above 5,000 feet, that pace stands as a solid showing.
