Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Maximilien Mcclean-Ouelhadj #27934 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Early Pace Carries a Steady Half Marathon Finish Maximilien Mcclean-Ouelhadj finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:52:59, averaging 8:37 per mile. His race was defined by a fast start: the first six miles clicked by between 7:52 and 8:15 per mile, putting him at an 8:05 pace through the tenth kilometer. From there, miles 7 through 13 settled into a steadier 8:49-9:18 range as the elapsed pace gradually eased to the final 8:37 mark. That opening six-mile stretch, covered in 48:31, stands as the standout segment of the racewell under his final overall pace. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, holding that early rhythm before easing into the closing miles reflects a well-managed effort across the second half of the course.
