Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Gabrielle Yup #41678 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Anchors a Solid 5K Finish Gabrielle Yup finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 30:25, an overall pace of 9:48 per mile. Her race unfolded unevenly across the three miles: an opening mile at 9:32, a sharp pickup to 8:16 for mile two, and a slower closing mile at 11:27. That middle mile stood out as her fastest stretch of the race, showing a strong surge in the race's second third. Running in Boulder, sitting at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Yup's pacing swings suggest an opportunity to work on maintaining a more even effort across the full distance, particularly finding a way to sustain that strong middle-mile rhythm through to the finish.
