Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Rachel Barry #31038 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Start Carries Through a 10K Finish Rachel Barry completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 57:18, an overall pace of 9:14 per mile. Barry's opening two miles were her strongest, clicking off in 8:42 and 8:33 to build an early cushion. The middle miles brought a gradual easing of pace, with mile four slowing to 9:51 before a rebound to 9:03 in mile five. The closing mile settled at 10:17, rounding out a race that trended from a brisk start toward a controlled finish. Given the steady early pace, targeting more even effort across the middle miles could help Barry sustain her early rhythm all the way home in future 10Ks. Boulder's altitude, over 5,000 feet, adds context to any pacing shifts across the distance. This race finishes on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder.
