Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Nick Eaton #20710 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Closing Kick Seals a Steady Half Nick Eaton covered the half marathon in 1:39:50, holding a tight band between 7:36 and 7:42 per mile through the middle miles before surging late. His fastest mile came at mile 12, a 7:13 clip, as he shaved time off his overall pace in the final two miles after a brief dip to 7:54 around mile 8. That late push dropped his cumulative pace from 7:39 to 7:36 min/mile by the finish, a sign of well-managed effort across the distance. Eaton's route through miles 9 and 10 carried him past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, right before he found his strongest gear for the finish. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, his final surge into the Pearl Street Mall reflected disciplined pacing worth building on for future starts.
