Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Carmelita Gomez #30492 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Start Sets the Pace, Steady Finish Seals It Carmelita Gomez completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 55:08, an overall pace of 8:53 per mile. She opened with her fastest mile of the race, a 7:26 first mile, before settling into a steadier rhythm through the middle miles. Her cumulative pace eased gradually from that quick start, reaching 8:39 per mile by the midpoint and holding close to that mark through mile five, showing good control after an aggressive opening. That first mile stands out as the clear highlight of her race, well ahead of her overall average. The final miles cost her some time as the pace settled toward 8:53 by the finish, but the early strength she showed suggests she has room to experiment with a more even effort in future 10Ks. Finishing in downtown Boulder, a city sitting above 5,000 feet of elevation, Gomez can take confidence from a race that began with real speed and finished with composure.
