Steady Start Fuels a Strong 10K Finish Kristen Belina completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 58:54, finishing amid a field of 3,071. Her first mile was her fastest, clocked at 8:13, and she carried strong early pace through the middle miles before easing back over the closing stretch. The race's shape showed a gradual build from that quick opening mile, with cumulative pace settling near 9:00 min/mile at the midpoint and drifting modestly to 9:30 min/mile by the finish. Her strongest sustained stretch came in miles 13, covered in under 26:10 a mark that anchored her overall result. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Belina's disciplined early miles reflect solid pacing sense on a course that finishes on the historic Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder.
