Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Jalen Garcia #32671 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Opening Miles Fuel a Steady 10K Finish Jalen Garcia finished the 10K in 1:04:26, averaging 10:23 per mile. He built an early cushion through the first three miles, splitting 9:23, 9:05, and 9:34 to reach the 5K mark near the 28-minute mark. From there, pace eased to 10:45 and 10:36 over miles four and five before a final mile of 13:02 closed out the race. The opening 3-mile stretch stood out as the fastest sustained running of the day, holding tight in the low 9:00s despite Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet. That early rhythm gave Garcia a solid foundation to carry through the back half of the course into the Pearl Street Mall finish.
