Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Peter Psaltakis #26778 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Fast Start Sets the Tone, Steady Finish Seals It Peter Psaltakis covered the half marathon in 1:48:18, opening with a 7:35 first mile and holding sub-8:00 pace through the first five miles his strongest sustained stretch of the day at roughly 7:45 per mile. From there his per-mile splits eased gradually, bottoming out at 9:01 for mile eight, before settling into a steadier 8:30s rhythm to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall. Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, a backdrop worth noting given the race's steady early pace. The 2026 half marathon course also carries nearly 50% less net elevation gain than in prior editions, dropping from 384 to 203 feet a change that pairs well with the strong opening miles Psaltakis produced before the second-half pace settled in.
