Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Devin Becraft #32595 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Negative Split Surge Through the Middle Miles Devin Becraft finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:03:37, an overall pace of 10:15 per mile. Becraft's race built steadily: after opening in 10:48 and 10:43, he found his rhythm, dropping to 10:07, then 9:08, then 8:55 across miles three through five his strongest mile-plus stretch of the day. That surge pulled his cumulative pace down from 10:45 to 9:55 per mile before the finish. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds a layer of difficulty to that kind of mid-race push, making the sustained drop in pace through the middle miles a notable piece of pacing execution worth building on for next time.
