Strong Start Fades Over Final Mile Christina Villasenor completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 38:38. She moved through the first two miles at a steady 10:29 and 10:43 pace, then slowed considerably over the final mile, finishing in 16:30 for that stretch and settling her overall pace at 12:27 per mile. The opening two miles were the highlight, covered in a combined 21:11 with pace holding in the low 10:30s. Every Boulderthon distance finishes on the historic Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a fitting close after a race that started at elevation over 5,000 feet. Villasenor may find that building on the strength of those first two miles could help carry that early rhythm through to the finish next time.
