Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Katherine Wood #41120 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

A Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Katherine Wood finished the 5K in 28:40, an overall pace of 9:14 per mile. Her race unfolded unevenly: an opening mile of 9:30 gave way to a strong second mile at 7:43, before easing back to 10:24 over the closing stretch. That middle mile stood out as her fastest of the day, showing a solid mid-race surge. Racing in a field of 2,677 entrants, Woods pacing pattern reflects a runner willing to push once warmed up. Going forward, she might look to carry more of that second-mile strength into the final stretch, smoothing out the finish for an even more consistent overall pace. Given Boulders elevation above 5,000 feet, her ability to hit sub-8:00 pace for a mile speaks well of her fitness on race day.
