Impressive Comeback Mid-Race Strength Jessie Harrington from Gresham, CO, delivered an intriguing performance at the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon. Her race began with a steady start, maintaining a 23:51 min/mile pace for the first two miles.

This marked a significant boost in her performance and showcased her potential for the remainder of the race. By the end of the race, Jessie's consistent pacing paid off, securing her 24th place in the F20-24 division out of 480 participants, and 150th in gender out of 2992 participants.
