Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kathryn Hutton #27915 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Finishing Kick Seals a Steady Half Kathryn Hutton completed the Half Marathon in 1:49:53, an 8:23/mile pace. She opened briskly, clicking off her first six miles between 8:08 and 8:29, then eased through a mid-race stretch from miles 7-9 that slowed to the high 8:00s and a 9:08 split. She rallied over miles 10-11 before closing hard. Her final two miles, 7:37 and 7:40, were the fastest full miles of her race, a strong surge into the Pearl Street Mall finish. That mid-race dip through miles 9 and 10 came near the Power-Up Zone, set at roughly mile 9.5 of the half course. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Hutton's ability to close nearly a minute per mile faster than her mid-race pace stands out as the defining feature of her result.
