Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Logan Nelson #22948 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Carries Him to a Consistent 13.1 Logan Nelson completed the Half Marathon at the 2026 Boulderthon in 1:57:54, holding a 9:00 min/mile pace across the distance. His mile splits stayed remarkably even throughout, hovering between 8:37 and 9:26 for nearly every mile, with cumulative pace never drifting far from the 9:00 mark once established by mile 4. Miles 4 and 5 stood out as his strongest stretch, clicking off in 8:37 and 8:38 respectively, a segment that briefly pushed his overall pace toward 8:56. Given Boulder's elevation over 5,000 feet, that kind of pacing consistency across the full half marathon reflects well-managed effort from start to finish. Runners looking to build on this could experiment with a slightly faster start to test whether that mid-race strength can be sustained earlier in future races.
