Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kalie Gabbard #31367 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Early Pace Carries Her Through the 10K Kalie Gabbard finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 49:41, an 8:00 min/mile pace, placing 158th overall out of 3,071 in the field and 47th among women. Gabbard went out fast, covering her opening mile in 7:20 and holding sub-7:45 pace through the first four miles. Her strongest stretch came in that opening 4-mile segment, where she averaged roughly 7:30 min/mile, building an early cushion. The final two miles cooled to 8:38 and 9:22, respectively, easing her cumulative pace to the finishing mark. Given the elevation in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, that early tempo reflects well on her fitness, and dialing back slightly less in the closing miles could be worth exploring next time out.
