Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Sarah Thompson #24119 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Half Marathon Time Slashed by Nearly 30 Minutes Sarah Thompson crossed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon finish line in 1:31:53, placing 164th overall out of the field of 7,223 and 26th among women, good for third in the F30-34 division. That mark demolished her 2025 Boulderthon half time of 1:59:01, a improvement of over 27 minutes. She opened fast, covering the first six miles at a 6:35 per mile pace, the strongest stretch of her race, before settling into the 7:00-7:42 range through the middle miles and closing with a 6:58 final mile to finish at an even 7:00 min/mile overall pace. Her run came on a redesigned 2026 half marathon course, where net elevation gain was cut nearly 50%, from 384 feet to 203 feet, a fitting backdrop for such a decisive personal-best performance.
