Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Pookela Osaki #30797 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Finish Kick Highlights Steady 10K Effort Pookela Osaki completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:13:24, an 11:50 min/mile pace across the 6.2-mile course. The first three miles moved steadily in the 11:5312:10 range before a dip to 13:25 in mile four. He answered with the race's fastest mile, a 10:42 split in mile five, then closed with a solid 11:29 to the finish. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Osaki's ability to rebound after the fourth-mile slowdown stands out as the shape of his race. That late surge, particularly the mile five split, marks the strongest stretch of his day and a good building block for future 10Ks on this course.
