Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Cade Sweeney #32263 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Pace Through Five Miles Before a Late Fade Cade Sweeney finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:06:28, holding remarkably consistent pacing through the first five miles, each clocking between 10:08 and 10:31 per mile, before the sixth mile slowed to 12:52. That late dip pulled his overall elapsed pace to 10:43 per mile, but the even effort through the bulk of the race stands out as the highlight of his day. Every Boulderthon distance finishes on the historic Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a fitting close to a race run at over 5,000 feet of elevation. Sweeney's disciplined first five miles, holding within a 23-second band, reflect strong pacing control worth carrying forward; a touch more reserved effort early could help sustain that rhythm through the final mile next time.
