Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Jane Kim #41361 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Steady Effort Anchored by a Strong Middle Mile Jane Kim finished the 5K in 50:18, an overall pace of 16:13 per mile. Her race built momentum through the middle stretch: after opening in 16:34 for the first mile, she quickened to 14:09 for the second her fastest mile of the day before easing to 17:32 to close things out. Running the 5K at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet adds a layer of difficulty to any pacing plan, and Kim's ability to surge in the middle mile before settling into the finish reflects sound in-race management. If she looks to build on this result, working on sustaining that second-mile rhythm through the final stretch could be a worthwhile focus for next time.
