Steady Pace Carries Strong Finish in the 5K Sidney Bunch completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 33:51, an average pace of 10:55 per mile. Bunch's race shape showed clear improvement through the middle mile: after opening in 11:37, he picked up the pace to 9:49 for mile two, his fastest mile of the race, before settling to 11:08 to close. That surge in the second mile stands out as the strongest stretch of his day, pulling his cumulative pace down from 11:37 to 10:43 before the final mile brought it back up slightly. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Bunch's ability to accelerate mid-race reflects solid pacing instincts worth building on for future starts.
