Strong Late Kick Carries Steady Half Marathon Effort Dane Raggio finished the half marathon in 1:52:09, an average pace of 8:33 per mile. His pacing held remarkably steady through the middle miles, holding between 8:45 and 8:50 per mile from mile 2 through mile 9. From there he found another gear, covering the final 4 miles in roughly 31:50 a stretch that included his fastest mile of the race, a 7:43 split at mile 12. That closing surge came right around the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, and it clearly did its job, fueling a drop from 8:46 cumulative pace at mile 10 down to 8:34 by the finish. The course took runners out past Boulder Reservoir before finishing on the Pearl Street Mall, all at over 5,000 feet of elevation a backdrop against which this negative-split finish stands out.
