Steady Pace Powers Strong Half Marathon Finish Chris Schneider completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:44:42, averaging 7:59 per mile. This marks a significant jump from his 2023 Boulderthon Marathon finish of 4:30:08 (10:18 min/mile pace) a strong showing of improved speed and endurance across a shorter but still demanding distance. Chris opened with a swift first three miles, clocking around 7:36-7:41 pace, before settling into a slightly more moderate rhythm through the middle miles, hovering near 7:44-7:55 per mile. His most consistent stretch came from miles 9 through 13, where he held pace between 7:52 and 7:59, a sign of strong pacing control late in the race. Given Boulders elevation above 5,000 feet, maintaining that composure over the closing miles speaks well to his conditioning and pacing strategy.
