Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Penelope Sebben #41718 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers Steady 5K Finish Penelope Sebben completed the 5K in 32:13, an overall pace of 10:23 per mile. Her race unfolded in three distinct phases: an opening mile at 10:48, a sharp pickup to 9:03 for mile two, and a settling third mile at 11:18 to the finish. That middle mile stood out as her fastest stretch of the day, showing a notable surge in pace before closing things out. Sebben's run concluded on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a city sitting over 5,000 feet in elevation. Her positive finishing pattern, with a strong surge followed by a controlled final mile, reflects good pacing discipline. Working on maintaining that mile-two energy through to the finish could be a fun goal for her next race.
