Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Sunil Kharyal #32465 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Pace Through Five Miles Fuels Season-Best 10K Sunil Kharyal ran 1:00:27 in the 10K at the 2026 Boulderthon, finishing 714th overall and 405th among men. That marks a clear improvement over his 2023 Boulderthon 10K time of 1:06:34, shaving more than six minutes off his previous mark. Kharyal's race showed strong consistency through the first five miles, holding a tight band between 9:14 and 9:32 per mile, with his fastest full mile coming in mile two at 9:14. That steady rhythm carried his cumulative pace to 9:23 per mile by the five-mile mark. The final mile slowed to an 11:33 split, nudging his overall pace to 9:44 per mile by the finish. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Kharyal might look at ways to sustain that early rhythm deeper into the race next time.
