Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Tyler Behunin #25889 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Build Delivers a Strong Half Marathon Close Tyler Behunin finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:49:12, an 8:20 per mile pace. His race unfolded in two distinct phases: the first five miles settled into the 8:459:33 per mile range, then he shifted gears and held a markedly faster tempo the rest of the way. From mile 10 through the finish, he covered four miles in roughly 7:43 per mile, the strongest sustained stretch of his day, closing with splits of 7:49, 8:01, 7:37 and 7:27. That negative-split pattern played out at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet, adding weight to the late-race surge. Behunin's steady acceleration through the second half suggests his pacing strategy patient early, aggressive late paid off well on this course.
