Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Katie K #32364 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Climb Through the Middle Miles, Strong Mid-Race Surge Katie K. covered the 10K in 59:26, an overall pace of 9:35 per mile. Her race built steadily: after opening in 9:56, she trimmed time through miles two and three, hit her fastest full mile at 8:58 for mile five, then eased in the final mile to close out the distance. The finish came on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a city sitting above 5,000 feet of elevation. Katie's mid-race stretch from mile three through five was the strongest section of her run, showing good control before the closing mile. Maintaining that middle-mile rhythm deeper into the race could be worth exploring next time out.
