Steady Start Gives Way to a Tougher Final Mile Sahil Kadam completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 30:04, averaging 9:41 per mile. Kadam's race showed a strong opening pace before slowing over the closing mile. He covered the first mile in 9:04, then quickened to 8:40 for the second, bringing his cumulative pace down to 8:52 per mile. The third mile came in at 11:19, pulling his overall pace back to 9:41 by the finish.
