Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Skyler Hellmann #31917 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Fast Start Fades Into a Steady Grind Skyler Hellmann completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 51:36, an overall pace of 8:19 per mile. The race began aggressively, with a first mile clocked at 5:30, well under his eventual overall pace. From there, each subsequent mile slowed incrementally7:53, 8:23, 8:57, 8:40before a final mile of 10:22 closed out the race. That opening mile stands as the fastest stretch of the day by a wide margin, showing strong early speed. Given the steady mile-by-mile fade that followed, a more even opening pace could help sustain speed longer over the back half in a future 10K. Boulder's elevation, sitting above 5,000 feet, adds context to the overall effort across the full 6.2-mile course.
