Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Mary Hauser #30831 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

A Mid-Race Surge Powers a Steady 10K Effort Mary Hauser completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:39:17, an average pace of 16:00 per mile. Her race unfolded in three phases: a brisk opening mile at 15:12, a gradual fade through miles two to four as her pace eased to 16:38, and a strong rebound in mile five, where she clocked 15:42her second-fastest mile of the day. That mid-race surge stood out as the highlight of her run, showing she had gas left in the tank after the early slowdown. Running at altitude in Boulder, over 5,000 feet above sea level, adds a layer of difficulty to any pacing strategy, making Hauser's ability to rally in the fifth mile a solid display of endurance. Closing in her final mile at 17:24, she still crossed the line with a well-managed effort across the full 6.2-mile distance.
