Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Brooke Vanravenswaay #42392 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Big Improvement Fuels a Faster 5K Brooke Vanravenswaay ran a 31:41, a sizable improvement from her 36:05 finish in last year's race. Her pace picked up notably through the middle of the course, dropping from 10:10 for the first mile to 8:45 for the second, before settling to 11:31 over the final mile to the finish. That middle mile stood out as her fastest mile-long stretch of the race. Given that Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, that kind of surge is a strong sign of pacing control. Vanravenswaay might look to carry more of that second-mile strength into the closing stretch next time, but overall this was a clear step forward from her previous Boulderthon result.
