Strong Start Fuels Steady Half Marathon Finish Alec Dinges completed the half marathon in 1:47:02, an 8:10 min/mile pace across 13.1 miles. The first six miles showed the strongest running of the day, holding pace between 7:15 and 7:46 min/mile and reaching the 6-mile mark in 44:54 a 7:29 min/mile average for that opening stretch. The back half eased steadily, with per-mile splits settling into the 8:079:23 range as the race wore on, including a session near the lululemon Power-Up Zone around mile 9.5, where the mile-9 split came in at 8:29. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, the early pace stands out as a well-managed effort before the natural fade in the closing miles.
