Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Max Segal #22555 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Fast Start Fades Into a Steady Finish Max Segal completed the half marathon in 1:42:50, an average pace of 7:50 per mile. His first two miles were his fastest of the day, both under 6:50, before the pace settled into the high 7:00s through the middle miles. Mile 11 proved his slowest stretch, slipping to 8:52, roughly around where the course passes the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5. He rallied over the final two miles, holding in the low-to-mid 8:20s to close out the race. That opening pair of miles stands out as the strongest running of his day, well ahead of his overall average. The race unfolded on Boulder's 2026 half marathon course, redesigned to trim net elevation gain nearly 50 percent, all at over 5,000 feet of altitude, before finishing on the Pearl Street Mall.
