Strong Closing Kick Carries Half Marathon Finish Ryan Cavarra ran 1:51:45 in the Half Marathon, an 8:31 min/mile pace across the 13.1-mile course. His race built steadily after an uneven middle stretch, with pace tightening mile by mile through the second half. The final three miles proved his best stretch of the day: covering that ground in roughly 23:21, a 7:47 min/mile pace, well under his overall average and a clear surge to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall. That kind of closing speed, at over 5,000 feet of elevation in Boulder, points to well-managed effort and strong finishing strength. If there's a place to build for next time, it's carrying more of that late pace earlier in the race.
