Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Zachary Huey #40171 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Fast Start Fuels Strong Top-40 Finish Zachary Huey crossed the 5K in 17:58, good for 36th overall out of the field of 2,677 and 29th among men, with a second-place finish in the Men's 15-19 division. His result reflects a swift opening pace that carried him deep into the top tier of finishers. Huey's race was defined by an aggressive early rhythm: a 5:20 opening mile followed by an even faster 5:02 second mile, pulling his cumulative pace down to 5:11 per mile through two miles. The final mile eased to 6:49, settling his overall pace at 5:47 per mile. That opening two-mile stretch stands as the strongest segment of his race, and with a bit more even pacing across the final mile, he could sustain that early speed through the finish.
