Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Max Oconnell #41579 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Steady Pace Anchored by a Strong Middle Mile Max Oconnell completed the 5K in 30:55, an average pace of 9:58 per mile. Oconnell's race unfolded in three even efforts: a 10:10 opening mile, a quicker 9:46 second mile, and a 10:00 closing mile. That middle mile stood out as the fastest stretch of the race, showing a solid surge in the race's midsection before settling back to a pace close to his opener. The overall split pattern reflects a controlled, consistent effort from start to finish, with the finish coming on the historic Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder. Given the even pacing already shown, Oconnell might consider carrying that stronger middle-mile rhythm through the final stretch next time for an even split finish.
