Big Time Drop Highlights Strong Pacing Through Boulder's Half Zachary Rodasti finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:43:30, placing 479th overall and 374th among men out of the field. That's a sharp improvement over his 2025 finish of 1:51:57, shaving more than eight minutes off his time. His pacing stayed remarkably even through the race, holding steady in the high 7:50s to low 8:00s per mile for the first eleven miles before surging in the final stretch. Mile 12 stood out as his fastest of the day, clocked at 7:23, as he pushed the pace before closing with a strong final mile. That late kick over the closing miles reflects well-managed effort across a course that, following this year's redesign, cuts net elevation gain to roughly 203 feet a notable factor given Boulder's mile-high altitude.
