Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Abby Gonong #41975 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Abby Gonong crossed the line in 29:50, good for 190th among women in the field of 2,677. Her race built momentum through the middle of the course: after opening with a 9:32 first mile, she surged to 8:12 in the second mile, her fastest of the day, before easing back to 11:00 over the final mile as she moved through downtown Boulder toward the finish on the Pearl Street Mall. That second-mile split stood out as the clear high point of her race, showing a strong ability to accelerate once she found her rhythm. With no prior Boulderthon results on record, this run offers a solid first benchmarkone built on a well-paced start and a notable surge that could serve as a target to sustain longer in future races at altitude, with Boulder sitting above 5,000 feet.
