Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Thiana Nuanes #41984 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Thiana Nuanes completed the 5K in 33:04, an overall pace of 10:40 per mile, finishing 904th out of the field of 2,677 at the 2026 Boulderthon. Her race built through a clear middle surge: after an opening mile of 10:31, Nuanes dropped to 8:56 for mile two, her fastest mile of the race, before easing to 12:23 over the closing mile. That second-mile push moved her up sharply in the standings at the time, showing a runner capable of a strong mid-race gear change. With Boulder's elevation sitting above 5,000 feet, that kind of pace shift stands out. Looking ahead, Nuanes might consider working on sustaining that mile-two intensity closer to the finish, giving her race an even stronger close.
