Steady Pace Carries Kern to a Strong Half Marathon Finish Kristin Kern finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:48:32, averaging 8:17 per mile. Kern's pacing stayed remarkably even through the race, holding between 8:03 and 8:16 per mile for the first ten miles. Her strongest mile-plus stretch came from mile 3 to mile 5, where she covered two miles at an 8:03 pace. A slight dip arrived in miles 11 and 12, before she closed with an 8:09 final mile, nearly matching her early pace. That consistency reflects well-managed effort across the Boulder course, which finishes on the Pearl Street Mall at over 5,000 feet of elevation.
