Steady Pace Carries Her Through Boulder's 10K Michelle Klinger finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:01:05, an overall pace of 9:51 per mile, placing 767th out of the field of 3,071. Her opening mile came in at 9:37, and she held within a narrow band through the middle miles before finding her quickest mile of the day between miles 4 and 5, clocking 9:15. The final mile slowed to 10:37, closing out a race run mostly on even effort. With Boulder's elevation over 5,000 feet as a backdrop, Klinger's consistency across the middle stretch stands out as the strongest section of her race, and a touch more push in that closing mile could be a worthwhile focus for her next 10K.
