Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Leslie Montelongo #41998 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Start, Even Stronger Middle Mile Leslie Montelongo finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 27:51, an 8:59 min/mile pace. She opened with an 8:32 first mile, then quickened to 8:05 through the second, before easing to a 10:10 close over the final stretch. That second mile stood as her fastest of the race, a solid surge worth noting for pacing on a course set in Boulder, which sits above 5,000 feet of elevation. With her strong early tempo established, she might look to sustain that middle-mile intensity a bit longer next time.
