Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Alicia Gant #32153 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Start Fades Into a Steady Grind Alicia Gant finished the 10K in 53:57, an 8:42 min/mile pace. That's a step back from her 2025 Boulderthon 10K, where she ran 51:30 at an 8:18 pace. Her race opened well, with a 8:27 first mile and a 8:02 second mile her fastest of the day. From there, each successive mile ticked slower, climbing to 8:43, 8:42, 8:56, and finally 9:27 to close things out, a clear positive-split pattern across the back half of the course. That opening mile-two stretch stands out as the highlight of her effort, and building a plan to hold that early rhythm longer could pay off next time. Worth noting, too, that this race was run at altitude Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, a factor that shapes every finish time here.
