Consistent Pacing with a Strong Middle Section Katherine Scruggs maintained a remarkably consistent pace throughout the 2025 Boulderthon Half Marathon, completing the race in 1:50:42 at an average pace of 8:27 min/mile. Her splits showed minor fluctuations, with the fastest pace of 8:02 min/mile observed between miles 4 and 5, boosting her overall standing. Notably, she improved her overall position markedly from the start, where she moved up 430 spots between mile 5 and 6 to her final ranking of 886th. A highlight of Katherine's race was her positional advancement, having significantly leapfrogged many runners, especially from mile 5 to the finish.
