Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Ashlee Norman #22202 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Start Gives Way to a Gradual Fade Through the 10K Ashlee Norman covered the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:03:18. Her race opened quickly, with a first mile at 8:57 that proved to be her fastest of the day. From there, each successive mile slowed incrementally, pushing her overall pace from 8:57 min/mile at the one-mile mark to 10:12 min/mile by the finish, as the final miles settled into the 10:00-12:00 range. Racing through downtown Boulder, which sits above 5,000 feet of elevation, Norman's opening mile stands out as the strongest stretch of her run. A more even pacing plan across the back half could help her hold closer to that early rhythm in a future 10K.
