Fast Middle Mile Fuels a Top-10% Finish Owen Spooner crossed the line in 25:36, placing 265th overall and 200th among men in a field of 2,677 at the 2026 Boulderthon 5K. Spooner opened with an 8:17 first mile before surging to a 7:09 second mile, his fastest of the race and the stretch that pushed him into the race's upper tier. He eased back over the closing mile, finishing in 9:19, for a final overall pace of 8:15 per mile. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Spooner might look to carry more of that second-mile rhythm into the final stretch next time out.
