Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Bryan Lipe #25408 Race: 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Strong Start Fuels a Steady Half Marathon Finish Bryan Lipe completed the 2026 Boulderthon Half Marathon in 2:23:08, an average pace of 10:55 per mile across the 13.1-mile course. His race unfolded in two distinct phases: a brisk opening five miles that clocked in between 10:01 and 10:25 per mile, followed by a gradual easing through the back half as splits crept toward the 11:50s by the finish. That opening stretch miles one through five stood out as his fastest five-mile segment of the day, averaging roughly 10:11 per mile. Given that Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, holding that pace through the early miles reflects solid pacing discipline. Runners looking to build on this result might consider working on sustaining that early rhythm a bit longer into the middle miles.
