Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Shandeep Sharma #27529 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Finishing Kick Powers Steady Half Marathon Effort Shandeep Sharma completed the half marathon in 1:48:54, averaging 8:18 per mile. His pace held remarkably steady through the middle miles, hovering between 8:26 and 8:44, before he found another gear over the closing miles, dropping his mile splits into the 7:357:59 range from mile 10 onward. That late surge came right around the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, where his split time dipped from 8:12 to 7:59 - a sign of well-timed energy management on the way into downtown Boulder. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, negative-splitting the back half of a half marathon here is a strong showing. If there's one area to consider, it would be closing the gap between the early-race pace and the faster miles that followed even sooner next time.
