Big Improvement Fuels Strong Half-Marathon Finish John Vautier ran the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:50:04, an 8:24 min/mile pace, cutting nearly 11 minutes off his 2025 result of 2:00:58. That improvement moved him up more than 1,000 spots in the overall field and over 500 spots in his gender category compared to last year. Vautier's opening six miles were his strongest stretch, holding between 7:50 and 8:10 pace and building a cushion through the race's first half. A rougher patch arrived around miles 7-9, where his pace eased into the 8:53-9:24 range near the lululemon Power-Up Zone at roughly mile 9.5. He rallied over the closing miles, dropping a 7:38 mile to finish, a sign of strong late-race composure at Boulder's altitude above 5,000 feet.
