Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Bennit Reichelt #40771 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Steady Start Gives Way to a Gradual Fade Bennit Reichelt completed the 5K in 34:00, an overall pace of 10:58 per mile. His opening mile was his strongest, clocking 9:46, before easing to 11:16 in the second and 12:08 over the closing stretcha pattern of gradual slowing across the three miles. That first mile stands out as the fastest full-mile stretch of his race. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds context to the effort. Given the early pace, holding closer to that opening rhythm in the middle mile could be a useful focus for future 5Ks.
