Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Carly Slonin #42008 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers Steady 5K Finish Carly Slonin completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 32:46, an overall pace of 10:34 per mile. Her race built through a clear middle surge: after an opening mile of 11:27, Slonin dropped to 9:03 for mile two, her fastest mile of the race, before settling to 10:55 over the closing mile. That second-mile push pulled her cumulative pace down from 11:27 to 10:15, showing the strongest stretch of her run before a slight ease to the finish. Racing in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet of elevation, Slonin's ability to accelerate mid-race stands out as the highlight of her effort. Maintaining more of that mile-two rhythm through the final stretch could be a useful focus for future 5Ks.
