Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Brendan Mcculloch #26342 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Sharp Improvement Highlights a Well-Paced Half Brendan Mcculloch finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:26:04, placing 85th overall and 74th among men in a field of 7,223. That result marks a solid improvement over his 2025 Boulderthon half, where he ran 1:30:12 a gain of over four minutes this year. His pacing stayed remarkably even throughout, hovering between 6:20 and 6:40 per mile for nearly the entire race, a sign of strong control at altitude. Miles 11 through 13 stood out as his strongest stretch, covering that final three-mile segment in roughly 19:03, well under his overall average pace, and finishing with real momentum onto the Pearl Street Mall. His consistency across the race never drifting far from a 6:30 pace reflects disciplined effort management. If there's an area to consider for next time, a touch more aggression in the middle miles (6-9) could shave additional time, as that stretch was slightly slower than his overall pace.
