Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Gerard Hampton #32362 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Pace Holds Firm Through a Strong 10K Finish Gerard Hampton finished the 10K in 49:31, an average pace of 7:59 per mile. Her race unfolded evenly: an opening mile at 7:43 gave way to a quick 7:32 second mile, before a slight dip through miles three and four pushed her cumulative pace to 7:49. She rallied over mile five, matching her fastest split of the day at 7:32, pulling her overall pace back down to 7:46 before the final stretch into the Pearl Street Mall. That fifth mile stood out as the race's high point a return to early-race rhythm after the mid-race dip, and proof of well-managed effort deep into the course. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Hampton's ability to hold pace so consistently across the distance reflects strong pacing discipline from start to finish.
