Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Brian Licata #20873 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Through the Back Half Anchors a Solid Half Marathon Brian Licata finished the half marathon in 1:47:27, an 8:12 min/mile pace. He opened briskly, covering the first two miles in 7:59 each, before settling into a rhythm that held mostly between 8:05 and 8:35 through the middle and late miles. His final two miles, both at 8:05, showed a strong closing kick after a stretch of relatively slower miles from 7 through 11. Boulder sits at over 5,000 feet of elevation, adding context to Licata's consistent effort across the course. His opening two-mile stretch stands as the fastest sustained running of his race, a pace he wasn't able to fully replicate later but came close to matching again in the closing miles.
