Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Christopher Richey #24310 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Through Mid-Race, Strong Closing Miles Christopher Richey finished the half marathon in 2:19:27, an average pace of 10:38 per mile. His race held remarkably steady through the first seven miles, settling in the 10:1810:37 range, with mile six standing out as his fastest of the day at 10:18. A rougher patch arrived in miles eight and nine, where his pace eased to 10:59 and 11:25, before he rallied over the closing miles, clocking 10:31, 10:32, and 10:25 to bring it home. That late slowdown around mile nine lines up with the course's lululemon Power-Up Zone, positioned near mile 9.5 of the half a useful marker for where his effort dipped before he found his rhythm again. Given how well he recovered in the final miles, building a touch more consistency through that mid-to-late stretch could be a worthwhile focus going forward.
