Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Nicholas Pompea #25867 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Early Pace Fuels Solid Half Marathon Finish Nicholas Pompea finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:45:04, an 8:01 min/mile pace across 13.1 miles. Pompea's race unfolded in two distinct phases. Through the first six miles, he ran comfortably under 7:20 per mile, building a strong cumulative pace near 7:16 min/mile by the halfway point. Miles two through six were especially efficient, with splits ranging from 6:48 to 7:18. The back half saw a natural easing, with mile 11 checking in at 9:54, the slowest mile of the race, before he steadied through the final two miles. Given the course finishes on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet of elevation, Pompea's early pace reflects solid strength through the opening miles before the late-race moderation.
