Strong Closing Miles Power a Steady Half Marathon Nathaniel Kang covered the half marathon in 1:42:11, holding a consistent 7:48 min/mile pace through Boulder's course. His mile splits stayed tightly bunched in the high 7:50s through the middle miles before he found another gear late, dropping to 7:10 for mile 12 his fastest full mile of the race and closing with a 7:22 in mile 13. Racing at altitude, with Boulder sitting above 5,000 feet, Kang's ability to accelerate over the final three miles, averaging roughly 7:24 per mile from mile 10 to the finish, stands out as the highlight of his run. That late surge, after nine miles holding steady near 7:55 pace, reflects strong pacing discipline and a well-managed closing stretch into downtown Boulder.
