Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Taylor Atchley #32804 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Fast Start Fades Late in the 10K Taylor Atchley finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 59:49, an overall pace of 9:38 per mile. She opened briskly and lost ground steadily as the race went on, with cumulative pace climbing from 8:21 after the first mile to 9:36 by the finish, reflecting a gradual fade rather than a single rough patch. Her first mile, covered in 8:21, was the fastest mile of her race, well ahead of the 11:39 split that closed things out. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, working toward a more even effort from start to finish is a worthwhile target for her next 10K.
