Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Maya Walker #32732 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Pace Carries Her Through Boulder's 10K Maya Walker finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 59:03, an average pace of 9:31 per mile. Her race unfolded in two distinct halves: the first three miles clicked off between 9:10 and 9:31, keeping her cumulative pace tight around 9:11-9:17. Miles four and six brought her toughest stretches, drifting to 9:52 and 10:22, but she answered with her fastest mile of the day in mile five, a 9:04 split that pulled her cumulative pace back down. That rebound stands out as the strongest stretch of her race, showing she had another gear late when it counted. Racing at altitude in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, that mid-race surge is a solid marker to build from for pacing consistency in future starts.
