Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Bikalpa Baniya #30541 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Negative Split Highlights Steady 10K Effort Bikalpa Baniya crossed the line in 51:28 (8:18/mile), placing 204th overall and 138th among men in the field of 3,071. The race built steadily: an 8:48 opening mile eased into 8:29 and 8:38 splits before a sharp drop to 8:02 in mile four. Mile five was the standout, a 7:20 clip that pulled the cumulative pace down to 8:15/mile, the fastest of the day. A final mile near 8:46 closed things out in downtown Boulder, a fitting finish given the city's elevation above 5,000 feet adding extra weight to that mid-race surge.
