Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Matt Weir #24012 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Climb After a Slow Start Matt Weir opened cautiously with an 11:05 opening mile before settling into a rhythm, ultimately crossing the finish in 1:51:10 for 13.1 miles, an 8:29 min/mile average pace. After that first mile, Weir's cumulative pace tightened steadily, dropping under 9:00 min/mile by mile four and holding in the 8:30s-8:40s through the race's midsection. His strongest stretch came late, covering mile 12 in 7:39, the fastest full mile of his day, as he pushed toward the Pearl Street Mall finish. That surge came shortly after passing through the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5, and Weir's ability to close strong stands out given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, a demanding backdrop for any late-race kick.
