Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Bayartsogt Ganbold #27754 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Holds Strong Through the Back Half Bayartsogt Ganbold finished the half marathon in 1:50:29, an 8:26/mile average pace across the 13.1 miles. The opening mile came in at 8:33, and he then settled into a strong middle stretch, running miles 2 through 5 between 7:58 and 8:16, with mile 2 standing out as his fastest of the race at 7:58. Pace held in the 8:20s through mile 10 before a brief dip to 9:06 in mile 11, followed by a solid recovery to 8:21 and 8:25 to close out the final two miles. That consistency down the stretch, through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5 and on toward the finish on the Pearl Street Mall, reflects well-managed effort at altitude in a city that sits above 5,000 feet.
