Steady Pace Through the Middle Miles Fuels a Solid 10K Finish Hunter Mckibbon finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 56:02, holding an 9:02 min/mile pace across the 6.2-mile course. Mckibbon's race settled into a consistent rhythm after a quick opening mile, holding between 8:37 and 9:03 per mile through the middle stretch. His strongest mile came between miles 4 and 5, clocked at 8:37, the fastest of his race, before the pace eased slightly over the final mile. Running the course at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Mckibbon's ability to maintain a tight pace band through the heart of the race stands out as the defining feature of his effort. A touch more consistency in that closing mile could help him carry his mid-race strength all the way to the finish next time.
