Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Jaret Monak #25462 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Through Ten Miles, Finishing Strong Jaret Monak covered the half marathon in 2:25:25, an 11:06 mile pace. His cumulative pace stayed remarkably consistent through the first ten miles, holding between 10:46 and 10:55 min/mile, before a 12:32 mile eleven nudged the overall average up to 11:04. He answered with a 11:35 twelfth mile and a 11:01 closing mile, settling the final pace at 11:06 min/mile. The best stretch of the race came early: miles one through six clicked off at a steady 10:46 pace, anchored by a 10:33 sixth mile, the fastest of the day. That opening rhythm was built at altitude, with Boulder sitting above 5,000 feet, a factor worth noting given how well the pace held across those miles before the late dip.
