Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Zach Vergillo #27498 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace, Strong Finish Through the Half Zach Vergillo completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:41:46, averaging 7:46 per mile across the 13.1-mile course through Boulder. Vergillo's pacing stayed remarkably consistent through the first ten miles, hovering between 7:38 and 8:03 per mile with cumulative pace never straying far from 7:40-7:46. After a slightly slower 11th mile at 8:07, he responded with his two fastest miles of the day 7:35 and 7:30 to close out the race. That final stretch from mile 11 to the finish stands out as the strongest running of the day, showing a well-managed effort with a deliberate surge when it mattered most. With Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet as a backdrop, this was a well-executed, evenly-paced performance from start to finish.
