Strong Start, Even Stronger Finish Zach Young ran the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:48:17, finishing 683rd overall and 505th among men in a field of 7,223. Young opened quickly, covering the first five miles between 7:50 and 8:11 pace before easing through the middle of the race, with mile six slowing to 8:56. He steadied again over the back half, working back down to 8:13 and 8:19 pace by mile ten. His strongest stretch came late, closing the final two miles at 7:50 and 7:53 pace, a clear surge to the finish. That rebound followed the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, where his pace was holding around 8:20. The pattern reflects a well-managed effort: a brisk opening, a measured middle, and a confident finish across the Pearl Street Mall.
