Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Yessenia Chavez #32915 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Middle-Mile Surge Powers Steady 10K Finish Yessenia Chavez completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:01:51, an average pace of 9:58 per mile. Her race unfolded in three phases: a controlled opening through mile three near 10:10 pace, a strong push through miles four and five that dropped as low as 9:13, and a slight easing in the final mile to close out the 6.2-mile distance. Mile five stood out as her fastest stretch of the race, a marked pickup from the previous two miles. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, her ability to accelerate mid-race rather than fade reflects well-managed effort. Sustaining more of that mile-five rhythm through the final stretch could be a rewarding focus for future 10Ks.
