Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Christian Fontal #27861 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Through the Middle, Strong Finish Down the Stretch Christian Fontal completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:52:46, averaging 8:36 per mile. His pace held remarkably consistent through the first six miles, hovering between 8:18 and 8:42, before a brief dip through miles 7 and 8 pushed those splits to 9:17 and 9:39. From there, Fontal steadily rebuilt his rhythm, trimming his cumulative pace back down over the second half of the race. His strongest stretch came in the final three miles, covered in roughly 24:30 an 8:10 per mile pace, the fastest sustained stretch of his race. That surge carried him past the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5 and through to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall, closing out a race run entirely above 5,000 feet of elevation.
