Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Emilee Carder #32154 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Big Time Drop Fuels Strong 10K Finish Emilee Carder crossed the line in 55:49, a sizable improvement over her 1:01:15 from the same race in 2025 more than five minutes faster and a jump from 320th to 161st among women. Her race went out strong: the first three miles clicked by at 8:13, 8:14, and 8:20, the fastest stretch of her day and a full minute per mile quicker than her closing miles. From there, the pace eased steadily 8:54, 9:23, and 10:44 to the finish as cumulative pace drifted from 8:15 at the 5K mark to 8:57 overall by the end. With the opening miles run at altitude in Boulder, that early rhythm stands out as the highlight of the race. A touch more evenness across the back half could help her hold that early pace deeper into future 10Ks.
