Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Adam Preston #41613 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Anchors Steady 5K Finish Adam Preston finished the 5K in 34:00, an overall pace of 10:58 per mile. His race unfolded in three distinct chapters: an opening mile at 11:07, a sharp drop to 9:27 for mile two, then a pull-back to 12:17 to close things out. That middle mile stood out as the fastest mile of his race, a clear surge before the finish stretch brought the pace back down. Boulder sits at over 5,000 feet of elevation, a backdrop worth noting for any effort at this distance. Preston might look at smoothing the gap between his fastest and slowest miles next time a more even pace across the three could help him convert that strong second mile into an even better overall time.
