Steady Pace Powers a Strong Half Marathon Finish Paul Doxtator finished the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 1:50:34, an 8:26 min/mile pace. He crossed at mile 5 in 41:55, having settled into a rhythm after an opening mile of 8:37. Miles 5-10 held tightly between 8:00 and 8:34, showing consistent control through the middle of the race. A dip to 9:12 at mile 11 briefly slowed his cumulative pace, but he answered with a strong 8:06 mile to close things out, his fastest full mile of the race, bringing him home with a solid final surge into downtown Boulder. That closing mile stood out as the highlight of his race, a sign of good pacing discipline held in reserve for the finish. Given Boulder's elevation past 5,000 feet, holding sub-8:30 pace for most of the distance reflects well-managed effort throughout.
