Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Aaron Yup #41620 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Front Half Fuels a Top-10% Finish Aaron Yup crossed the line in 24:35, placing 222nd overall out of the field of 2,677 and 167th among men. That result put him inside the top 10 percent of the entire field. Aaron's race opened fast, with a 7:29 first mile giving way to a 7:01 second mile, his quickest stretch of the day. The third mile eased to 9:03, showing the effort of the earlier pace. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds context to that early speed, and a touch more evenness across the final mile could help him hold his peak pace all the way to the Pearl Street Mall finish.
