Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Caitlyn Kluszynski #27240 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Fast Start, Late Fade, Strong Finish Caitlyn Kluszynski finished the half marathon in 1:51:19 (8:29/mile), a step back from her 2025 result of 1:47:33 (8:12/mile) on the same course. Kluszynski opened fast, covering the first six miles at a steady 8:00/mile pace, tucking her into the race's front half through that stretch. The middle miles brought a natural cooling, with mile 8 through 11 slipping toward 9:00-9:40/mile as the course wound through Boulder County. She rallied over the final two miles, holding 8:39 and 8:42 paces to close strong. This year's race unfolded at Boulder's 5,000-plus feet of elevation, with the half course set for a nearly 50% cut in elevation gain in 2026 context worth noting as she plots her next trip to the Pearl Street Mall finish line.
