Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Derek Ketelhohn #25874 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Through 10 Miles, Strong Kick to the Mall Derek Ketelhohn covered the 2026 Boulderthon half marathon in 1:45:16, holding a consistent 8:02 min/mile average across the distance. His splits stayed remarkably even through the first ten miles, hovering between 7:56 and 8:03 min/mile, before a brief dip near mile 11. He answered with his fastest mile of the race in the final stretch, closing in 7:28 min/mile to finish strong through downtown Boulder. Ketelhohn passed through the lululemon Power-Up Zone around mile 9.5 while running a 7:48 mile 10, part of a sustained effort in the race's middle third. Given the even early pacing, he might consider a slightly more conservative start next time to preserve energy for an even stronger closing surge.
