Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Aiden Theel #42378 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Fuels a Solid 5K Aiden Theel covered the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 23:11. He opened with a 7:31 first mile, surged to a 6:47 second mile, then eased to an 8:04 close, finishing with an overall pace of 7:28 per mile. That middle mile stood out as the fastest stretch of his race, a strong push through the heart of the course. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds context to that effort, making the pace shift from mile one to mile two a notable highlight. A touch more evenness between the second and third miles could help him carry that momentum through the finish next time.
