Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Tristan Mckee #24637 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Early Surge Powers a Steady Half Marathon Tristan Mckee finished the half marathon in 1:42:48, an overall pace of 7:50 per mile. His race built quickly: after an opening mile at 8:31, he clicked off miles three through five in 7:27, 7:19 and 7:02, the fastest stretch of his day. From there, his pace settled into a rhythm between 7:30 and 8:20 per mile through the finish, showing a controlled, even effort over the back half of the course. That mile-3-to-5 surge stands as the highlight of the race, a segment run well under his overall average. Given the finish sits above Boulder's 5,000-foot elevation, holding sub-7:10 pace there reflects strong control of effort. Later miles eased slightly but never strayed far from his overall rhythm, a sign of consistent pacing across the full 13.1 miles.
