Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Emad Bashir-Mohammed #120053 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Powers a Podium-Adjacent Finish Emad Bashir-Mohammed finished the Half Marathon in 1:05:41, placing 4th overall and 4th among men in the field. This result sits between his two previous Boulderthon half marathon finishes: faster than his 1:06:31 (1st place) last year, though not quite matching his 1:04:45 (2nd place) two years ago. Emad's race was remarkably even, holding a 4:41 opening mile before settling into a rhythm between 4:54 and 5:12 per mile for the remainder of the race, finishing with a 5:00 min/mile overall pace. Miles 7 through 10 stood out as his most consistent stretch, each falling within seconds of a 5:01-5:04 pace. With Boulder's elevation exceeding 5,000 feet, that kind of pacing discipline over 13.1 miles is worth noting. A slight fade appeared in mile 11 before he rallied with a 4:54 split in mile 12, a strong response late in the race.
