Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Charlie Chermak #27277 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Start Fades Into a Steady Grind Through the Back Half Charlie Chermak completed the half marathon in 2:18:56, an overall pace of 10:36 per mile. His race opened fast: the first four miles clicked off at an even 8:579:04 pace, the strongest stretch of his day. From there, each mile settled into a steadier rhythm, drifting past 10:00 by mile six and into the 11:0012:00 range for the final third, with mile 11 marking his slowest at 12:46. That mile also lines up near the lululemon Power-Up Zone, positioned around mile 9.5 of the half. Given Boulders elevation above 5,000 feet, holding sub-9:00 pace through the opening miles stands out as the clear highlight of the race, even as the effort naturally settled in the later miles.
