Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Ethan Jones #25983 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Finishing Kick Seals a Top-Tier Half Marathon Ethan Jones crossed the line in 1:31:30, placing 156th overall and 132nd among men out of the field of 7,223. He split the first 10K around 7:00 pace, dipped to 7:30 through mile 8, then reeled off his fastest mile of the day at 6:41 in mile 12, closing the final 5K in the 6:40s-6:50s to bring his overall pace back down to 6:58/mile by the finish. The middle miles were the rough patch of an otherwise even effort, but the response over the last three miles was the standout stretch of the race, more than a minute per mile faster than the mile-8 low point. That closing surge, on a course finishing on the Pearl Street Mall, points to strong late-race conditioning worth building on.
