Strong Finishing Kick Carries Steady Pace to a Top-Tier Result Martin Paez ran 1:33:27 to place 191st overall and 157th among men out of the field of 7,223 in the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon. His even effort held between 6:47 and 7:45 per mile throughout, tightening in the closing miles as he moved from 7:11 elapsed pace at mile 11 down to 7:08 by the finish. Mile 12 was his strongest of the day, covered in 6:47, part of a closing stretch from mile 10 through the finish that outpaced his early miles. That surge came as the course approached downtown Boulder's Pearl Street Mall finish, on a half-marathon route trimmed to roughly 203 feet of net elevation gain a course run, as always, above 5,000 feet of altitude.
