Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Emily Lim #30197 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Strong Early Pace Powers a Top-5% 10K Finish Emily Lim finished the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 48:51, placing 140th overall out of 3,071 entrants and 41st among women. She started fast, running her opening two miles in 7:27 and 7:08, the latter marking her quickest mile of the race. From there, her pace settled into the high 7:50s through miles three, four, and five, before easing further as she approached the Pearl Street Mall finish. Running at altitude, with Boulder sitting above 5,000 feet, Lim's early efficiency stands out as the highlight of her race. Given the strength of her first two miles, she may find value in working on maintaining that intensity a bit longer in future 10Ks, though her overall consistency across the middle miles reflects a well-managed effort.
