Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kassandra Kellett #42068 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Kassandra Kellett finished the 5K in 34:00, an overall pace of 10:58 per mile. Her race built momentum in the middle mile, dropping to 9:35 after an opening mile of 11:01, before easing back in the closing stretch. That second-mile surge stood out as the fastest stretch of her race, showing a strong ability to find rhythm once warmed up. Racing through downtown Boulder, a city sitting over 5,000 feet in elevation, Kellett's pacing pattern reflects the natural ebb and flow of a shorter race at altitude. With a solid negative shift in the middle mile, she has a clear foundation to build from perhaps focusing on carrying that mid-race strength into the final mile next time out.
