Strong Start Fuels a Steady 10K Finish Maria Hernandez covered the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 1:01:39, an average pace of 9:56 per mile. She opened briskly, covering the first mile in 8:57 and the second in 8:48, before easing through the middle miles into a 9:24-10:32 range. The final mile settled at 11:53, closing out a race that cooled steadily from its fast opening pace. Her first two miles stand out as the strongest stretch of the day, holding sub-9:00 pace before the effort gradually tapered. That opening speed came at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, a demanding backdrop for any early pace.
