Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Matthew Donnell #31261 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Pacing Gives Way to a Strong Mid-Race Surge Matthew completed the 10K in 52:12, an 8:25 min/mile pace. He finished 158th out of 3071 men and 20th in the M35-39 division. The race unfolded in two phases: a controlled opening through mile three, holding between 8:15 and 8:22 pace, followed by a brief fade to 8:56 in mile four. Matthew answered with his strongest stretch of the day, clocking 7:34 for mile five his fastest mile of the race before easing off over the closing mile. Running at altitude in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, that mid-race surge stands out as the highlight of an otherwise evenly managed effort.
