Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Molly Mason #41729 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Molly Mason completed the 5K in 30:00, an overall pace of 9:40 per mile across Boulder's field of 2,677 participants. Her race built in the middle: after opening in 10:03, Mason surged to an 8:25 second mile, her fastest of the day, before easing to 10:34 to close things out. That middle-mile burst pulled her overall standing up sharply before a more measured final stretch into the Pearl Street Mall. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, the pace shift reflects a well-managed effort, with the strong second mile standing out as the highlight of her race.
