Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Eli Snyder #27893 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Holds Firm Mile After Mile Eli Snyder covered the half marathon in 1:47:03, an 8:10/mile average built on remarkably consistent pacing. After an opening mile at 8:45, he settled into a rhythm that barely wavered every mile from 4 through 10 landed within seconds of 8:10 elapsed pace. The real strength showed in the closing miles: after ticking through mile 11 at 8:24, Snyder found another gear, closing miles 12 and 13 in 8:02 and 7:55 respectively, his fastest sustained mile-plus stretch of the race. That finishing surge came in the stretch beyond the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, carrying him toward the finish on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, holding an 8:10 pace through the closing miles reflects strong late-race execution worth building on.
