Strong Start Fades Late in Steady 10K Effort John Wahlers finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:00:09, an average pace of 9:42 per mile. His race opened fast, with a 8:20 first mile, the quickest of his day, before easing to a 9:20 second mile. Miles three and four saw a gradual slowdown to 9:49 and 10:14, before he rallied with a 9:28 fifth mile his second-best stretch of the race. The closing mile slipped to 11:16, tempering his overall pace slightly. Racing at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Wahlers capped his effort with a finish on the historic Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a fitting close to a well-paced run through the middle miles.
