Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Daniela Saenz #41380 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers Steady 5K Finish Daniela Saenz completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 33:16, an average pace of 10:44 per mile. Her race built momentum through the middle mile, dropping to 9:40 for mile two after opening in 10:35, before easing to 11:55 over the closing stretch to the finish. That second mile stood out as her fastest of the race, a solid surge through the heart of the course. With the finish landing on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, Saenz capped her run in a city sitting above 5,000 feet of elevation, a notable backdrop for a well-paced effort. Building on that early speed for a stronger close could be a worthwhile focus for her next race at this distance.
