Steady Opening Gives Way to a Gradual Fade Stephanie Noel completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:35:02, covering 6.2 miles at an overall pace of 15:19 per mile. Her race opened strong, with a first mile in 13:00 that stood as her fastest stretch of the day. From there, each subsequent mile ticked slower14:06, 15:13, 15:49, 15:35, and finally 18:13 over the last milereflecting a gradual softening in pace as the race wore on rather than a single dramatic slowdown. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds a layer of difficulty to any effort, and Noel's early pace showed she handled that opening mile well before settling into a more measured rhythm. Like all Boulderthon distances, her race concluded on the historic Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a fitting finish to a run built on a strong start.
