Consistent Yet Cautious Performance Matthew Doran completed the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon with an elapsed time of 1:41:46, maintaining a consistent average pace of 7:46 min/mile over the 13.1-mile distance. His splits varied slightly, with the fastest mile at a 7:24 pace during mile 2 and the slowest at an 8:12 pace on mile 11. Matthew showed determination, as evidenced by maintaining a top third position in his gender with a final placing of 314 out of thousands of participants. A notable aspect of his performance was mile 5, where he placed 33rd, his best during the race.
