Strong Start Carries Him Into the Top 2% Josh Mcdaniel finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 18:12, placing 43rd overall and 34th among men in a field of 2,677, with a 7th-place finish in the men's 30-34 division. Mcdaniel opened fast, covering the first mile in 5:26 before dropping to 5:11 for the second his strongest mile of the race. The final mile slowed to 6:39, pulling his overall pace to 5:52 per mile. Racing at altitude in Boulder, which sits above 5,000 feet, that early pace stands out as the highlight of his effort. A touch more even pacing between miles two and three could help him hold that early speed through the finish next time.
