Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Max Barnett #20839 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Pace Carries Young Runner to Top Finish Max Barnett, 15, of Boulder, finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 45:57, placing 83rd overall and 64th among men out of a field of 3,071. Barnett's pace held steady through the middle miles, dipping to 6:48 for mile five, his fastest full mile of the race, before easing back over the closing stretch. His cumulative pace tightened from 7:36 after the first mile to as low as 7:09 by mile five, showing solid control across the distance. The race concluded on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a fitting finish to a well-managed effort at altitude above 5,000 feet. With his mile-five surge as a bright spot, Barnett might look to sustain that same rhythm a bit longer into the closing miles in future races.
