Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Sally Sumner #32165 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Middle Miles Power a Steady 10K Finish Sally Sumner covered the 10K in 1:00:42, an overall pace of 9:47 per mile. She opened conservatively at 10:37 for the first mile, then settled into a rhythm through the middle miles before a final mile that eased back to 10:10. Her strongest stretch came across miles four and five, where she covered two miles in 18:30, a 9:15 per mile pace, marking the fastest sustained running of her race. That surge pulled her overall pace down from 10:01 to 9:48 by the fifth mile. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Sumner might look to carry that mid-race strength closer to the finish in future efforts.
