Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Reshma Thapa #31913 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Start Fades Before Final Push Reshma Thapa completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:37:32. His pace was quickest right out of the gate, covering the opening mile in 13:21 before easing through the middle miles, bottoming out at 16:46 for mile three. He found a bit more rhythm in mile five, clocking 15:27, before the closing mile slowed to 18:03 as he neared the finish. That opening mile stands as his best stretch of the day, nearly two minutes faster than any other mile on the course. Running at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet adds a layer of difficulty to any pace management, and holding that early speed before settling into a steadier rhythm is a reasonable pattern to build from for future 10Ks.
