Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Joey Kirkpatrick #32026 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Rebound Marks Middle Miles Joey Kirkpatrick opened with a brisk 10:23 first mile before easing through a slower middle stretch, then finished in 1:30:52. His fourth and fifth miles were the highlight of the race a combined 25:17 that marked his fastest sustained running of the day, pulling his cumulative pace back down after a dip through miles two and three. The final mile eased off again, closing out a race with a clear pattern of push, dip, and recovery. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Kirkpatrick's ability to rebound in the middle miles stands out as the strongest portion of his effort. With no prior results on record for this event, this run establishes a first benchmark and that mid-race surge offers a clear target to build from in future starts.
