Steady Pace Carries Strong Half Marathon Finish Alejandro Lozano Enriquez completed the half marathon in 1:47:30, an 8:12 min/mile pace. He built a consistent effort through the opening ten kilometers, holding between 7:57 and 8:03 per mile, before settling into a slightly slower rhythm over the closing miles as fatigue set in. His strongest stretch came between miles 4 and 6, where he covered three miles in roughly 23:39, averaging 7:53 per mile the fastest sustained running of his race. That surge followed a smooth start and preceded a natural fade over the final miles, a common pattern in Boulders thin air above 5,000 feet. The 2026 half marathon course, redesigned to cut net elevation gain by nearly half from 384 to 203 feet offered a smoother back stretch that helped him hold his overall effort together before finishing on the Pearl Street Mall.
