Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kayli Burke #40414 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Fuels Steady 5K Finish Kayli Burke, 31, of Summerville, SC, completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 30:00, an overall pace of 9:40 per mile. Her race built through the middle mile, where she dropped an 8:35 split the fastest mile of her race before easing back to a 10:45 close. That surge helped balance the effort into a consistent overall pace across the 3.1-mile distance. Boulder's elevation, sitting above 5,000 feet, adds context to any pace run through downtown Boulder before finishing on the Pearl Street Mall. Given the strength of that second mile, Kayli might look at pacing the final stretch more evenly in future 5Ks to carry that speed to the line.
