Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Matthew Rogers #30489 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

A Mid-Race Surge Powers a Solid 10K Matthew Rogers crossed the line in 1:02:51, finishing 41st in the men's 40-44 division. His race opened briskly at 9:43 for the first mile, then eased through a tougher middle stretch that peaked at an 11:24 third mile. From there he found his rhythm, ripping off consecutive miles of 9:41 and 9:03 his fastest of the day before settling into a 10:33 close to the finish. That two-mile surge through miles four and five was the clear highlight, showing he had plenty left after the early dip. Boulder's elevation, over a mile high, adds a layer of difficulty to every stride on this course, making that late push through miles four and five all the more notable.
