Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Coltin Thompson #40048 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Fuels Solid 5K Finish Coltin Thompson finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 25:39, a result placed in the top 10% of the field. Thompson opened with an 8:40 first mile before surging to a 7:13 second mile, his fastest stretch of the race. The closing mile settled to 8:57, bringing his overall pace to 8:16 per mile. That middle-mile push stood out as the strongest segment of his race, sandwiched between a measured start and a steadier finish. Boulder's altitude, sitting above 5,000 feet, adds context to the effort. Coltin might consider working on sustaining that second-mile pace closer to the finish in future races.
