Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Aidan Seymour #42276 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Start Fuels a Top-5% 5K Finish Aidan Seymour crossed the line in 22:23, good for 128th overall out of the field of 2,677 and 98th among men. He also placed 13th in the men's 25-29 division. The race unfolded with an aggressive opening: a 6:48 first mile followed by a quicker 6:26 second mile, before easing to an 8:14 close, still enough to secure a strong overall standing. That middle mile stands out as the highlight of the race, run at a 6:26 pace and reflecting well-managed effort through the race's most competitive stretch. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, holding sub-6:50 pace through two miles before the finishing mile speaks to a well-paced effort. Future 5Ks could look at sustaining that early rhythm a bit longer into the final mile.
