Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: William Sutton #40831 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish William Sutton finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 31:05. Sutton opened with a 10:25 first mile before surging to 8:37 over the second mile, his fastest of the race. He closed with a 10:49 final mile, settling his overall pace at 10:01 per mile for the distance. The middle-mile push stands out as the clear highlight of his race, showing a strong ability to shift gears mid-race. Racing at altitude in Boulder, sitting over 5,000 feet, adds context to the effort. Building a more even pace between the second and third miles could be a useful focus for future 5Ks.
