Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kayla Alexander-Prescott #30343 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Effort Carries Strong Opening Pace Through the 10K Kayla Alexander-Prescott finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:18:22. She opened briskly, covering the first mile in 10:25 and reaching the two-mile mark in 21:19, holding an 10:39 min/mile pace through that stretch. From there the pace settled, with mile splits gradually easing through miles three, four, and five before closing out at 1:18:22. Her first mile remained the strongest stretch of the race, and that early rhythm reflects well on her pacing instincts. Boulder's elevation, sitting above 5,000 feet, adds a natural challenge to any race day performance there, making her steady early pace especially notable. Runners looking to build on this result might consider working on sustaining that opening rhythm a bit longer into the middle miles.
