Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Charley Mcgown #20745 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Steady Pace Carries Strong Middle Miles Charley Mcgown finished the half marathon in 1:50:15, a steady effort that settled into rhythm after a measured opening mile. His pace tightened through miles 36, each covered in the 7:538:01 range, marking the fastest four-mile stretch of his race. From there, the pace eased slightly through the middle miles before he rallied over the final two miles, closing in 8:24 and 8:05. The course record includes a slight rise in cumulative pace around mile 9, right as runners passed the lululemon Power-Up Zone near mile 9.5 of the half. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Mcgown's ability to close strong after that stretch reflects well on his overall pacing strategy. A touch more consistency through the middle miles could help sharpen his overall time next time out.
