Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Raelyn Vita #40997 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers Steady 5K Finish Raelyn Vita crossed the line in 31:54, good for 313th among women in the field of 2,677. Her race unfolded in two distinct halves: a measured opening mile at 10:47, a surge through the second mile at 8:53, and a settling final mile at 11:12 to close out the 5K. That second mile stood out as her fastest stretch of the race, a full minute-plus quicker per mile than either mile that bracketed it. Running the distance at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Vita showed she had another gear when she needed it a pace that could serve as a target to sustain longer next time out.
