Strong Start Fuels Top-1% Half Marathon Finish Ryan Paradise finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:18:36, placing 32nd overall and 29th among men in a field of 7,223 a result inside the top 10% of participants. He also finished 10th in the men's 25-29 division. Paradise's race opened fast, holding 5:42-5:44 pace through the first six miles before easing to a 6:12-6:40 range from miles 7 through 11 as the effort settled. He answered with his fastest mile of the day at mile 12, clocking 5:28, before finishing steady in 6:00 to close it out. That mid-course stretch came near the lululemon Power-Up Zone at roughly mile 9.5, a notable segment given the 2026 half course's redesign, which cut net elevation gain nearly 50 percent, from 384 to 203 feet.
