Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Michael Giaon #40295 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Steady Effort Carries Michael Through Boulder's 5K Michael Giaon finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 1:04:36, covering the 3.1-mile course through downtown Boulder. His opening mile was his quickest at 19:45, before easing to a 22:18 second mile and closing with a 21:34 third. That first mile stands as the strongest stretch of his race, with the back half settling into a steadier rhythm. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, the pacing pattern reflects a sensible adjustment as the race progressed. There's room to experiment with a more even split between miles two and three in future starts here, but the overall effort held firm through the finish on the Pearl Street Mall.
