Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Jessica Smith #31317 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Jessica Smith completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 33:03, an average pace of 10:39 per mile. After an opening mile of 11:01, she surged to 8:58 for mile two her fastest mile of the race before easing to 11:57 over the closing stretch to the Pearl Street Mall finish. Running the race at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Jessica's mid-race mile stands out as the clear high point of her effort. With the opening and closing miles both settling near the 11-minute mark, she might consider working on sustaining that faster middle-mile rhythm deeper into her next race for a more even overall split.
