Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Eric Hakos #21153 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Anchors a Strong Closing Mile Eric Hakos completed the half marathon in 1:49:11, averaging 8:20 per mile. He opened briskly, cutting his pace from 8:35 to 7:53 over the first three miles, then held a consistent rhythm through the middle miles in the 8:108:40 range. A brief dip to 9:06 came around mile seven, but he rebounded well, closing with his fastest full mile of the race, 7:46, to finish strong. Racing at Boulder's elevation of more than 5,000 feet, Hakos' ability to hold pace across the back half of the course speaks to well-managed effort. His even splits through the middle miles, followed by a quicker final mile, reflect a smart, controlled approach to pacing at altitude.
