Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kyle Mollo #22378 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pacing Carries Him to a Sub-1:45 Half Kyle Mollo finished the half marathon in 1:44:41, an overall pace of 7:59 per mile. His race built through a strong middle stretch: miles 2-4 clicked off in 7:17, 7:31 and 7:11, his fastest three-mile stretch of the day, before the pace eased gradually through the second half. He closed with a 8:20 mile to the line, pulling back some of the time lost in the 8:40-8:50 range around miles 11-12. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Mollo passed through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5 in 8:20, right in line with his overall mile splits at that stage. The course carried him out past Boulder Reservoir before finishing on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a fitting stage for a well-paced effort. A touch more consistency across miles 9-12 could sharpen the finish further next time.
