Strong Early Pace Carries Steady 10K Finish Anika Buhr finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 50:43, placing 187th overall and 59th among women out of the field of 3,071. Her race built on a fast start: the opening three miles clicked off in 23:23, an average pace of about 7:48 per mile, before a dip to 8:18 in mile four. She rallied with a 7:49 fifth mile, then eased through the final stretch as the effort caught up with her, closing with an overall pace of 8:10 per mile. Running at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Buhr's opening miles stand as the highlight of her day, showing the strongest sustained pace of the race. A touch more even pacing through the middle miles could help her carry that early rhythm closer to the finish next time.
