Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Stephen Beuning #40394 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Solid 5K Finish Stephen Beuning finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 28:16, an average pace of 9:07 per mile, placing 5th in the M 60-64 division. Beuning's race showed a clear shape: an opening mile at 9:19, a strong surge to 7:33 for mile two, then a settling third mile at 10:22 to close things out. That middle mile stood out as his fastest stretch of the race, showing a solid burst of speed before bringing it home. Given the finish sits at over 5,000 feet of elevation in Boulder, his ability to push that pace mid-race reflects well on his fitness. A touch more even pacing between miles two and three could help him carry that strong middle-mile energy all the way to the line next time.
