Strong Closing Mile Anchors a Steady 10K Effort Kierra Wuerz completed the 10K in 59:46, an average pace of 9:38 per mile. Her pacing held in a tight band through the opening five miles, drifting from 9:33 to a cumulative 9:35 by mile five, before the final mile settled at a 9:42 overall pace as the finish neared. The standout stretch came in mile five, covered in 9:01, the fastest mile of her race and a clear pickup from the 9:55 pace of mile three. Boulder's elevation, sitting above 5,000 feet, adds a layer of difficulty to that kind of mid-race surge, making the mile five effort a notable piece of an otherwise evenly-paced run through downtown Boulder toward the finish on the Pearl Street Mall.
