Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Miguel Barajas #32172 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Opening Mile Sets the Tone for a Steady 10K Miguel Barajas finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 52:56, an 8:32 min/mile pace, in the field of 3,071. Barajas opened fast, clocking 7:43 through the first mile, then settled into a steady rhythm across miles 2 through 5, holding between 8:03 and 8:39 pace. That opening mile stands as his strongest stretch of the race. The final mile slowed to 9:57, easing his cumulative pace to 8:32 min/mile by the finish. Racing at altitude in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, that early tempo is a solid foundation dialing in a touch more even pacing across the middle miles could help him carry that opening speed further next time.
