Strong Start Carries Steady 10K Finish Douglas Mulford completed the 2026 Boulderthon 10K in 53:09, an 8:34 min/mile pace, finishing at over 5,000 feet of elevation in Boulder. Mulford opened with his fastest mile of the day, covering the first mile in 8:04, and held pace tightly through mile two at 8:08. From there, each mile ticked slightly slower, with the pace settling into the 8:20-8:30 range through mile four before a final mile push to close out the race. The overall shape reflects a well-paced effort that eased gradually rather than dropping off sharply, a sign of smart, controlled pacing across the distance. Runners looking to build on this could consider working on maintaining that opening mile-two rhythm a bit longer into the back half.
