Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Karis Fridgen #31271 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Start Anchors Steady 10K Finish Karis Fridgen ran the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 56:34. Her opening mile was her fastest of the day at 8:08, and she moved through the first two miles at an 8:06 pace before easing over the back half. Cumulatively, her pace held near 8:00-8:40 through mile four before drifting past 9:00 by the finish, reflecting a gradual settling of effort across the back half. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, that early pace stands out as the strongest stretch of her race. She might look to carry that opening rhythm a bit further into the middle miles next time.
