Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Lauren Egaas #40074 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Anchors Steady 5K Effort Lauren Egaas covered the 5K in 31:00, an overall pace of 10:00 per mile. She opened with a 10:17 first mile, surged to 8:41 over the second mile, then eased to 10:57 to close, showing a race shaped by a strong middle push. That second mile stood as the standout stretch, more than a minute faster than either of the miles around it. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Lauren's ability to find that gear mid-race is a solid foundation; working to sustain more of that pace into the closing mile could be a worthwhile focus for a future race.
