Steady Negative Split Powers a Strong 10K Finish Samir Gidha finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 53:55, an average pace of 8:41 per mile, placing 312th overall out of the field of 3,071. Gidha's pacing showed consistent improvement through the middle miles, dropping from an 8:53 opening mile to a strong 8:09 fifth mile. His standout stretch came between miles 3 and 5, where he covered two miles at roughly 8:12 pace, his fastest sustained running of the race. The final mile eased slightly to 9:37, a reasonable adjustment after the earlier surge. Racing at altitude in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, that mid-race quickening stands out as the clear highlight of his effort.
