Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Anthony Kraft #30547 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Pacing Delivers a Personal-Best 10K Anthony Kraft crossed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 58:07, trimming 27 seconds off his 2025 finish in the same event. His cumulative pace held in the 8:459:20 range across the six miles, reflecting a controlled, even-effort race. His first two miles were the strongest stretch, clocked at 8:45 and 8:48, establishing an early rhythm he sustained for most of the course before a natural cumulative pace increase to 9:20 by the finish. Running at altitude in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, that opening pace stands out as a strong marker of his race. With this improvement over last year, Kraft might consider whether a slightly more conservative start could help him carry that early speed further into the back half next time.
