Steady Pace Powers a Consistent 10K John Gutierrez finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 58:35, an average pace of 9:27 per mile across the field of 3,071. Gutierrez's mile splits stayed remarkably tight through the race, ranging from 8:59 to 10:00 with no significant swings in effort. His strongest mile came from mile 4 to mile 5, covered in 8:59, the fastest stretch of his race. The final mile ticked up slightly to 10:00, a small fade after four miles of consistent rhythm.
