Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Nicholas Vialpando #42444 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Steady Pace Fuels a Strong Middle Mile Nicholas Vialpando completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 30:22, an average pace of 9:47 per mile. His race built momentum after a 10:13 opening mile, dropping to a race-best 9:29 for mile two before settling to 9:41 to close things out. That middle mile stood out as his fastest stretch of the day, showing a solid ability to find rhythm once warmed up. Running the distance at Boulder's elevation of over 5,000 feet, Vialpando might look to carry that mile-two strength further into the race next time, starting a touch faster to build on the pace he found in the middle.
