Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Sara Manderscheid #30338 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Sixth-Fastest Yet: Steady Splits Power a Personal Best 10K Sara Manderscheid ran 49:29 at the 2026 Boulderthon 10K, placing 149th overall and 44th among women out of a field of 3,071, and finishing 6th in the F40-44 division. This is a slower time than her 2025 Boulderthon 10K (47:47), though well ahead of her 2024 result (56:22). Her pace held remarkably even through the middle miles, ticking between 7:56 and 8:08 from mile one through four before a strong fifth mile at 7:34, her fastest stretch of the race. The final mile eased slightly to 8:29, a small fade after a well-controlled effort through downtown Boulder, a city sitting above 5,000 feet of elevation.
