Steady Pace Anchors a Solid 5K Finish Ashley Hayward finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 28:02. Her opening mile came in at 9:13, followed by a quicker second mile at 8:33, before settling to 9:21 over the closing stretch to finish with an overall pace of 9:02 min/mile. The middle mile stood out as her strongest of the race, a full 40 seconds faster than her opening pace. Racing through downtown Boulder, Hayward can take confidence in that surge a slightly more even effort across the final mile could help her carry that speed all the way to the Pearl Street Mall finish next time.
