Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Rakesh Bagul #40416 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Steady Effort Carries Him Through the 5K Rakesh Bagul finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 33:55, part of a field of 2,677 in downtown Boulder. His race unfolded in three distinct phases: an opening mile at 11:03, a strong middle mile at 9:44, and a final mile that eased back to 12:23. That second mile stood out as his fastest stretch of the race, showing a solid surge in the middle portion before settling in to finish. With the finish line on the Pearl Street Mall, Bagul's steady overall pace of 10:56 per mile reflects a well-managed effort at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet. A slightly more even pace between miles two and three could be a small area to consider for future races.
