Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kent Simmons #30447 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Start Gives Way to a Determined Finish Kent Simmons completed the 10K in 1:03:44, moving through the field steadily across six miles in downtown Boulder. His pace held tight through the first three miles, anchored by a fastest mile of 9:10 in mile two, before easing gradually over the back half of the course as the effort compounded toward the finish. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Simmons' opening miles reflected strong pacing discipline, and the tail end of the race showed the honest toll that elevation and distance can take late in a 10K. A touch more even pacing across miles four through six could help him carry his early rhythm all the way to the Pearl Street Mall finish next time out.
