Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Mayra Mendoza #41954 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Fuels Steady 5K Finish Mayra Mendoza covered the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 34:05, an overall pace of 10:59 per mile. Her race unfolded in three distinct phases: an opening mile of 11:08, a sharp pickup to 9:45 for mile two, then a settling pace of 12:08 to close things out. That second mile stood as her fastest full-mile stretch of the day, a clear surge in the middle of the race before easing through the final stretch into downtown Boulder. Mendoza's effort came at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet, a notable backdrop for any distance runner tackling this course. Her race finished on the historic Pearl Street Mall, capping a well-paced 5K with a strong tempo shift through the middle miles worth building on for next time.
