Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Tye Chirico #20920 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Second Half Fuels a Sub-9 Finish Tye Chirico crossed the line in 1:51:23, sliding from an 8:38 mile-five pace into a much stronger closing stretch. After a rough patch through mile six, he rallied significantly, covering miles nine through thirteen in just under 31 minutes a 7:45 per mile pace that was easily his fastest sustained stretch of the race. That surge pulled his overall pace back down to 8:30 per mile by the finish, a sign of real strength in the second half. Running the final miles into downtown Boulder, Chirico closed well above 5,000 feet of elevation, making his late-race pace push all the more notable given the thin air his legs were working against.
