Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Ryan Moritz #40645 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Ryan Moritz completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 33:19, an overall pace of 10:45 per mile. He opened with an 11:56 first mile, then surged to a 9:40 second mile before settling into a 10:51 closing mile, showing a race shape defined by a strong middle push after a measured start. That second mile stood out as the fastest stretch of his race, a clear gear shift from the opening pace. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, maintaining that kind of mid-race acceleration reflects solid pacing control. Moving forward, Ryan could look to carry more of that middle-mile strength into the final stretch to close even stronger.
