Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Nicholas Attanasio #22920 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Early Pace Gives Way to a Tougher Back Half Nicholas Attanasio finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 2:50:49. Through the first six miles he was locked into a steady 11:0011:05 min/mile pace, the fastest sustained stretch of his race. From mile 7 onward the pace eased mile by mile, settling into the 14:0016:00 min/mile range as he worked toward the finish, with his final mile ticking in at 14:30. That opening six-mile stretch stands out as the highlight of the day, showing well-controlled, even effort before the course demands caught up with him. Boulder's elevation, above 5,000 feet, adds its own test to any pacing plan. Attanasio would have passed through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5 before making his way toward the finish on the Pearl Street Mall.
