Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kevin Collington #40561 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Sub-24 Finish Caps Steady 5K Effort Kevin Collington finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 23:33, good for 169th overall and 131st among men in a field of 2,677. His race unfolded in two distinct phases: a quick opening mile in 7:37, a sharp surge to 6:43 for mile two, then a settling third mile at 8:10 to the finish on the Pearl Street Mall. That middle mile stood out as his fastest of the race, showing a strong mid-race push before easing into the finish. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Collington's pacing shows room to explore a more even effort across all three miles, which could help him hold that mile-two speed deeper into the race next time.
