Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Matthew Mcdougall #30674 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Middle Miles Power a Steady 10K Finish Matthew Mcdougall covered the 10K in 50:04, an 8:04 min/mile pace. He opened with an 8:18 first mile, quickened to 7:46 by mile two, then held between 8:03 and 8:07 through the middle miles before finding his fastest stretch of the day in mile five at 7:30. The final mile eased to 8:51 as he closed out the course. That mile-five surge stood out as the race's high point, a full 20-plus seconds faster than his overall pace, showing strong control at Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet. With a steadier final mile, there's room to close even stronger on this course next time.
