Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Dustin Nguyen #30308 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Early Pace Cools Late Dustin Nguyen completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:05:47, an average pace of 10:36 per mile. He opened briskly, covering the first two miles in 10:05 and 9:57, then settled into a steadier middle stretch through miles three and four before rebounding to a 10:12 fifth mile. The closing mile slowed to 12:16, the race's softest stretch, as the overall pace drifted from the low-10:00s toward the finish. The first two miles stood out as the strongest running of the day, with the second mile's 9:57 marking his quickest of the race. Racing at altitude in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, adds a layer of difficulty to maintaining that early rhythm across the full 10K distance.
