Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Jason Ulrich #40615 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Start Fuels a Steady 5K Finish Jason Ulrich completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 34:04, an overall pace of 10:59 per mile. His race followed a clear pattern: a brisk opening mile in 9:16, the fastest mile of his day, before easing to 10:20 over the second mile and 13:26 over the third as cumulative pace settled from 9:48 to 11:00 per mile by the finish. That opening mile stands out as the highlight of the race, showing Jason's ability to establish rhythm early. Given that strong start, he might consider working on sustaining that pace deeper into future 5Ks a small adjustment that could bring his overall time down. Racing at altitude in Boulder, over 5,000 feet, adds its own demand on any runner's legs, making his effort through the opening mile even more notable.
