Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Daniel Montoya #32957 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Pace Through Boulder's Thin Air Holds Firm to the Finish Daniel Montoya covered the 10K in 55:20, a steady 8:55 min/mile average across the field of 3,071 in the 2026 Boulderthon. His race built with an even rhythm through the middle miles, opening in 8:57 and settling into the 8:19-8:43 range by mile three. Mile two stood out as his fastest of the day at 8:19 min/mile, giving him a slight cushion before the pace eased over the closing miles, finishing at 9:52 for the final mile. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Montoya's ability to hold close to his opening pace for the bulk of the distance reflects a well-managed effort. A touch more evenness in the closing mile could help him carry that early rhythm all the way to the Pearl Street Mall finish next time.
