Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Louis Bodin #26759 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Front Half Carries Steady Finish Through Downtown Boulder Louis Bodin completed the half marathon in 1:48:16, an 8:15 min/mile pace. He built an early cushion through the first five miles, holding in the 7:35-7:40 range, before easing through the second half as splits settled into the 8:20-9:40 window over the closing miles, still crossing the line with a controlled finish onto the Pearl Street Mall. His fastest mile-plus stretch came early, covering miles one through five in roughly 7:36 pace, the clearest sign of well-managed front-end effort. That opening surge came at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, a demanding backdrop for sustaining sub-7:40 mile splits. His pace eased slightly around mile nine, near where the course's lululemon Power-Up Zone sits at mile 9.5 of the half - a useful marker for where to target a bit more consistency next time.
