Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Ben Stubbings #41595 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Anchors a Solid 5K Finish Ben Stubbings, 43, of Longmont, completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 32:25. He opened with a 9:57 first mile, surged to 8:58 through the second, then eased to a 12:29 closing mile as the race wrapped up in downtown Boulder. That second mile stood out as his fastest of the day, showing a strong push through the race's midsection before the pace settled in over the final stretch. With the finish sitting at altitudeBoulder rests above 5,000 feetthat early tempo reflects solid pacing instincts. Building a touch more consistency between the second and third miles could help smooth out the overall effort in a future race.
