Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Barbara Laines #42235 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Steady Start Gives Way to a Determined Finish Barbara Laines completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 38:22, an overall pace of 12:22 per mile. Her race opened strong, with a first mile of 10:19 that proved her fastest stretch of the day, before easing through the second mile at 11:48 and the third at 14:36 as the cumulative pace settled to 12:14 by the two-mile mark. Finishing on the Pearl Street Mall, Laines completed her race in a city that sits above 5,000 feet of elevation, a notable backdrop for any distance. With her strong opening mile as a foundation, working to carry that early rhythm further into the race could be a useful focus for her next 5K.
