Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kole Braxton #41991 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Kole Braxton completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 28:57, an average pace of 9:20 per mile. His race unfolded in three distinct phases: an opening mile of 9:56, a sharp drop to 7:58 for the second mile, and a return to 9:58 pace to close things out. That middle mile stood out as the fastest of his race, a solid surge sandwiched between two more measured miles. Racing through downtown Boulder, which sits at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Braxton's ability to hold that quicker pace through the heart of the course is a strong foundation to build from as he looks toward future starts.
