Steady Early Pace Carries Through a Strong Half Marathon Finish Cara Aspesi completed the half marathon in 2:05:56, an average pace of 9:36 per mile across 13.1 miles. Her race opened strong: the first six miles clicked off in 55:19, an average of 9:13 per mile, the fastest sustained stretch of her day. Miles 7 through 11 eased to a 10:03 per mile pace before she tightened back up over the final two miles, closing in 9:24 and 9:51. That opening six-mile stretch, held at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, stands out as the highlight of the effort a pace worth aiming to sustain longer next time.
