Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Danielle Roney #32162 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Early Pace Fades Late in Steady 10K Effort Danielle Roney completed her 10K in 57:16, a 9:14 per-mile average pace. She built a consistent front half, holding between 8:33 and 8:59 per mile through the first three miles, then eased slightly through miles four and five before her final mile slowed to 11:00, the race's slowest stretch. Her second mile was the highlight, clocked at 8:33, the fastest of the day and a touch quicker than her opening mile. That early rhythm carried her through the race's midpoint before the pace gradually loosened over the final miles. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, holding sub-9:00 pace through the middle miles reflects strong pacing management, and a slightly more even final mile could help her sustain that effort through the finish next time.
