Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kenny Richard #40232 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Fast Middle Mile Fuels Steady 5K Finish Kenny Richard crossed the line in 26:26, a mixed-pace effort across Boulder's downtown course. His race built through a strong opening mile of 8:14, then surged to a 7:07 second mile his fastest of the day before easing to 9:52 over the closing stretch, settling his overall pace at 8:31 per mile. Racing at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Richard's second-mile split stands out as the highlight of his run, showing a solid gear change mid-race. With no prior Boulderthon results on record, this outing offers a clear baseline. A more evenly paced closing mile, matching that strong middle-mile effort, could help him finish with more consistency next time.
