Negative Splits Power a Strong Finishing Kick Nora Bubelis completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:50:12, an 8:24 min/mile pace. Bubelis built her race smartly, holding steady around 8:36-8:40 min/mile through the first seven miles before shifting gears. From mile 10 onward, she found another level, closing with miles at 8:09, 8:22, 7:57, and a final mile at 7:33 min/mile her fastest of the race. That late surge from miles 10 through 13 stands out as the strongest stretch of her day, showing well-managed effort and a confident closing kick through the final miles into downtown Boulder, a city sitting above 5,000 feet of elevation.
