Steady Pace Carries Him Through the Field Nicholas Quenzer finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:02:39. His pace held in a tight band through the middle miles 9:33 to 9:59 per mile from the first mile through the fourth before his fifth mile ticked down to 9:33, his fastest of the race. The final mile eased to an 11:06 split as he closed out the course. Boulder's elevation, sitting above 5,000 feet, is worth noting as backdrop for any effort at this distance. Quenzer's race showed a runner who found his footing early and sustained it well across the bulk of the course, with the finishing stretch representing the only real dip in output. That consistency through the first five miles is the clearest takeaway, and a slightly more even final mile could be a target for next time.
