Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Emily Dillon #30653 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Steady Pace Through Five Miles, Then a Late Test Emily Dillon finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 58:37, an overall pace of 9:27 per mile. She opened quickly, covering the first mile in 8:37, and held a strong rhythm through mile two at 8:48. From there her pace eased gradually 9:13, then 9:37 by mile four before tightening back to 9:27 for mile five. The final mile slowed considerably to 11:07, marking the race's toughest stretch and the clearest shift in her overall effort. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Dillon's early miles reflected strong control before the elevation and distance combined to challenge her closing pace. Sharpening endurance for that final stretch could help her carry her early rhythm through to the finish in future races.
