Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Ian Wood #30325 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Start Gives Way to a Gritty Closing Stretch Ian Wood finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:01:57, an overall pace of 9:59 per mile. Wood's opening mile was his fastest, clocking 9:09, and he held a sub-9:20 pace through the first two miles. From there, his mile splits eased gradually, settling into the 10:00-10:30 range through miles 3 to 6 as fatigue crept in over the back half. That opening mile stands as the clear highlight of his race, a full 40 seconds quicker than his final mile. Running this course at Boulder's 5,000-plus feet of elevation adds a layer of difficulty to any pacing plan, and Wood's early speed reflects strong initial execution even as the effort caught up with him late.
