Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Madison Baca #22391 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Delivers a Season-Best Half Marathon Madison Baca improved on her previous Boulderthon half marathon, finishing in 1:52:04 compared to 1:52:38 a year earlier, with her overall place climbing from 1042 to 921 and her gender place from 338th to 270th. Her pacing was even through the race, holding between 8:20 and 8:40 per mile for most of the distance after an opening mile near 9:20. Her strongest stretch came from mile 3 to mile 5, where she ran roughly 8:00 pace across those two miles, the fastest sustained running of her race. She held that rhythm well into the second half before a brief dip near mile 7, then recovered to close strong, including a 8:04 split at mile 12. Given her consistency, she might consider working on maintaining that early-race pace a bit longer next time.
