Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Juan Hyun #24727 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Start, Steady Finish Through the Middle Miles Juan Hyun completed the half marathon in 1:53:11, an 8:38 min/mile pace. His race opened briskly, covering the first six miles in just under 50 minutes with splits consistently between 8:01 and 8:29, building a cushion in the early going. The middle stretch, from mile 7 through mile 11, saw a gradual easing of pace into the 8:339:56 range, before he found another gear over the final two miles, closing in 8:13 and 8:18 to finish strong. That opening six-mile stretch stands out as the fastest sustained running of the race, averaging just over 8:13 per mile. Fittingly, Hyun's late rebound carried him into downtown Boulder, where the course finishes on the historic Pearl Street Mall a fitting cap to a day of racing at altitude above 5,000 feet.
