Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Nicole Perez-Escobar #24179 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Start Carries Through a Steady Half-Marathon Finish Nicole Perez-Escobar completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 2:09:25. Her opening miles were her best work, clicking off five straight sub-9:00 splits through mile 5, holding an 8:55 min/mile pace at the midpoint of that stretch. From there, the pace eased mile by mile, including a slower mile 11, before she steadied again to close out the final two miles in the 9:50s-10:20s range. Boulder's elevation, over 5,000 feet, sits behind every finish time here, and Perez-Escobar's early miles show the benefit of a controlled effort out of the gate before the back half settled into a more moderate rhythm.
