Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Jordan Almond #30242 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

A Faster Pace Than Her Marathon Debut Jordan Almond finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:03:16, averaging 10:12 per mile. That mark is a clear step up in pace from her 2024 Boulderthon Marathon, where she covered 26.2 miles at 10:46 per mile. Almond's race built steadily: after a 10:42 opening mile, she tightened into the low 10:20s through mile four, then surged to a 9:29 fifth mile - her fastest stretch of the day - before easing to a 10:26 close. That mid-race dip shows a runner who found her rhythm once warmed in, rather than fading late. Boulder's elevation, over 5,000 feet, adds context to that pacing pattern. With her pace trending faster than her previous Boulderthon outing, Almond might consider carrying that mile-five effort a bit earlier next time to see how it shapes the overall result.
