Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Drew Johnson #42167 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

A Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Drew Johnson completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 32:03, an average pace of 10:20 per mile. He opened conservatively at 10:44 for the first mile, then surged to 8:55 for the second his fastest mile of the race before easing back to 11:17 over the closing stretch to the Pearl Street Mall finish. That second-mile push moved him up notably in the field placings at the time, showing a runner capable of shifting gears mid-race. With Boulder's elevation sitting above 5,000 feet, holding that pace, even briefly, reflects solid fitness. Going forward, working on sustaining that middle-mile rhythm through the final stretch could help even out the overall pacing across the full distance.
