Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Frederick Morton #41412 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

A Strong Middle Mile Carries a Steady 5K Finish Frederick Morton finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 32:51, an overall pace of 10:36 per mile. Racing in the men's 25-29 division out of Denver, he opened with a 10:04 first mile before dropping to 9:13 through mile two, his fastest mile of the day, then eased to a 12:25 close over the final stretch. That middle mile stood out as the highlight of Morton's race, showing his ability to pick up the pace mid-course before settling in for the finish. Running at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet adds context to the effort required across all three miles. With a clear surge and controlled close, Morton has a strong foundation to build pacing consistency into his next 5K outing.
