Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kersten Tennessen #30580 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Miles Build to a Strong Finish Kersten Tennessen completed the 10K in 59:27, holding a consistent pace through the middle miles before closing out the race. Her splits show a smooth build from 9:47 in the opening mile to a season-best 8:57 in mile five, reflecting solid pacing control through the heart of the course. Running at altitude in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, Tennessen's effort held firm even as the final mile slowed to 10:29a natural adjustment after a strong mid-race push. Her steadiest stretch, miles three through five, offers a good benchmark: maintaining that rhythm through the last mile could help smooth out the closing pace in future 10Ks.
