Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Mia Manson #21167 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Finishing Kick Seals a Steady Half Mia Manson completed the Half Marathon at the 2026 Boulderthon in 1:40:38, averaging 7:40 per mile. She opened briskly, covering the first five miles between 7:38 and 7:47 pace, before easing slightly through miles six to eight (7:488:07). She settled back into rhythm from miles nine through eleven, holding 7:417:50 pace, then closed with her fastest running of the race miles 12 and 13 at 7:16 and 7:20 capping a well-paced effort with a strong final surge. Running this consistently at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet is a solid mark of fitness. If there's one area to consider for next time, it would be sustaining that closing strength a mile or two earlier, since the finishing legs clearly had more to give.
