Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Omar Shbeeb #26210 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Finishing Kick Seals a Top-Tier Half Omar Shbeeb crossed the line in 1:38:00, good for 295th overall and 242nd among men out of the field of 7,223 at the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon. That result placed him solidly in the race's top tier. Shbeeb's pacing stayed remarkably even through the first ten miles, holding between 7:36 and 7:50 per mile as he settled into rhythm. He then turned it on late, covering miles 11 through 13 in roughly 6:56 per mile a clear surge that included a 6:37 final mile, his fastest of the day. That closing strength, delivered at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, made for a well-executed race overall, with the late-race gear shift standing out as the highlight.
