Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Maya Vanvleet #30867 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Mid-Race Surge Highlights Steady 10K Effort Maya Vanvleet completed the 10K in 53:54, holding a consistent pace through the middle miles before finishing. Her early miles ran between 8:34 and 8:57, then tightened to 8:40 and 8:51 through the third and fourth miles, showing steady rhythm across the course. The standout stretch came in mile five, where she clocked 7:57 her fastest mile of the race before easing to close out the final mile. That surge reflects strong pacing control mid-race, even as the closing stretch slowed slightly. Racing at altitude in Boulder, sitting over 5,000 feet, her ability to find a faster gear late in the race stands out. Maintaining that mile-five intensity a bit longer could be a rewarding focus for her next 10K effort.
