Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Craig Keim #32192 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Early Pace Anchors a Strong 10K Finish Craig Keim finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:02:37, an overall pace of 10:06 per mile. His race built from a brisk opening: the first two miles ticked off at a 9:33 per mile pace, the fastest sustained stretch of his day, before the back half settled into a steadier rhythm that brought him home on the Pearl Street Mall. Racing at 5,000-plus feet of Boulder elevation, holding sub-9:35 pace through those opening miles reflects well on early pacing discipline. With the front-loaded effort in mind, working toward a more even split between the first two miles and the closing miles could be worth exploring as a next step, though the overall result stands as a solid finish for the 10K distance.
