Strong Middle Mile Powers Young Runner Through 5K Asa Preston covered the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 34:01, an average pace of 10:58 per mile. He opened with an 11:09 first mile, then surged to a 9:29 second mile his fastest of the race before easing to a 12:08 close, finishing over the final stretch into downtown Boulder's Pearl Street Mall. Boulder's elevation sits above 5,000 feet, a notable backdrop for any effort on foot. Preston's pacing shows a runner capable of a strong surge; carrying that middle-mile energy closer to the finish could be a worthwhile focus for his next race.
