Strong Start Carries Him Through the 10K Chase Bright finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 49:12, an overall pace of 7:56 per mile. Bright opened fast, covering the first two miles in 7:14 each, then settled into the high 7:00s through mile five. His strongest stretch came early: miles one and two, run at a consistent 7:14-7:15 pace, were his fastest sustained running of the race. The final miles cost him some time as his pace eased into the 8:00s and 9:00s, but the early speed banked enough cushion to hold a 7:56 average finish pace. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Bright's ability to build an early gap was a smart way to manage the thinner air before the effort caught up with him late.
