Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Theodore Ho #42372 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Faster Start, Strong Finish Improvement Over Last Year Theodore Ho crossed the 5K in 28:03, cutting nearly two minutes off his 29:55 finish at the 2025 Boulderthon 5K. His pace built quickly through the opening miles before settling as the race progressed moving from an 8:29 first mile to a strong 8:03 second mile, then easing to a 10:42 final mile, bringing his cumulative pace to 9:03 min/mile by the finish. That second mile, covered in 8:03, stood out as his fastest stretch of the race, showing a solid mid-race surge before the effort leveled off. Given that Boulder sits above 5,000 feet, maintaining that pace through the middle mile reflects strong pacing execution. Overall, this year's race marks a clear step forward from his previous Boulderthon 5K performance.
