Wire-to-Wire Age Group Win Anchors a Strong Half Alix Van Sickle finished the Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:35:33, placing 236th overall and 45th among women in a field of 7,223, while topping the 50-54 division from start to finish. She opened fast, covering the first six miles in under 42 minutes at a 6:55 pace, before easing through a slower seventh mile at 9:06. She then steadied herself, closing out the final six miles between 7:03 and 7:25 pace, showing solid control after the mid-race dip. Van Sickle's opening 10K, run in roughly 41 minutes, stands as the standout stretch of her race, well ahead of her overall pace of 7:17 per mile. Boulder's altitude, over 5,000 feet, adds context to that early tempo. Her ability to hold under 7:25 pace through the closing miles reflects strong finishing composure after the seventh-mile slowdown.
