Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Adam Gutierrez #40097 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Adam Gutierrez covered the 5K in 27:33, an 8:53 min/mile pace. His race built through a quick middle mile before settling back down over the closing stretch, finishing 262nd among men. His splits show a clear shape: a 9:20 opening mile, a sharp drop to 7:42 for mile two, and a return to 9:23 to close things out. That second mile stands as the fastest mile of the race by a wide margin, and holding closer to that effort in mile three could sharpen the overall pace next time. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds context to the effort throughout.
