Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Monica Jacobs #40714 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

A Strong Middle Mile Carries a Steady 5K Monica Jacobs completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 37:56. Her pace shifted through the race, opening at 12:33 for the first mile, quickening to 10:48 for the second, then settling to 13:31 to close things out. That second mile stood out as her fastest of the day, a solid surge through the race's midsection. Jacobs, who races out of Boulder, took on the course at altitude, with Boulder sitting above 5,000 feet itself a notable backdrop for any effort on these roads. With that middle-mile speed in her legs, she may find value in working toward carrying that pace deeper into the final stretch next time out.
