Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Aj Fryman #27925 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Fast Start Carries Him Through a Steady Back Half Aj Fryman finished the half marathon in 1:45:01, an 8:01/mile pace, placing 101st in the men's 25-29 division. His opening miles were his fastest, covering the first three in roughly 7:35 per mile before settling into the 7:30s and 7:40s through mile 7. The second half brought a gradual fade, with splits drifting into the 8:10-8:59 range as fatigue set in, though his overall rhythm stayed consistent enough to avoid any dramatic late collapse. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, holding sub-7:30 pace through the early miles was a strong statement of fitness. With the course finishing on the historic Pearl Street Mall, Fryman's steady final miles brought him home in downtown Boulder having banked enough early speed to offset the later slowdown.
