Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Christine Samaniuk #40284 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Fuels a Steady 5K Finish Christine Samaniuk finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 33:07, an overall pace of 10:41 per mile. Her race built momentum through the middle of the course: after an opening mile of 10:59, she surged to a 9:17 second mile the fastest stretch of her race before easing to an 11:35 closing mile to the finish. Boulder sits at over 5,000 feet of elevation, a notable backdrop for any race through downtown. Samaniuk might look to carry that second-mile rhythm deeper into the race next time, using it as a target pace rather than a peak, for a more even overall effort.
