Fast Opening Mile Carries Strong Top-40 Finish Eric Liddell crossed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K line in 42:37, a 6:52 per-mile pace that placed him 40th overall and 28th among men in a field of 3,071. Liddell's race opened briskly, with a 6:27 first mile that was his fastest of the day. The pace eased through miles three and four, drifting to 6:47 and 7:06, before he rallied with a 6:32 fifth mile his second-quickest split pulling his cumulative pace back toward 6:41. The final mile slowed to 7:44 as he neared the Pearl Street Mall finish, still enough to hold a strong position in the standings. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, his ability to surge again after the midrace dip stood out as the highlight of the effort.
