Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Destinie Loma #42348 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Start Fuels a Steady 5K Finish Destinie Loma completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 30:36, an average pace of 9:52 per mile, finishing 237th among women in a field of 2,677. Her race opened briskly, with a 9:24 first mile followed by an even quicker 9:06 second mile, the fastest mile-plus stretch of her race. The final mile eased to 10:55, bringing her cumulative pace back to 9:48 by the finish. That opening-to-middle surge, then a settled closing mile, gave the race a strong, controlled shape overall. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds context to that pacing, and Loma's ability to hold a sub-9:20 clip through the first two miles stands out as the highlight of her effort. A touch more evenness in the closing mile could be a small point of focus for her next race.
