Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Eric Yan #40388 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Steady Start Gives Way to a Late Fade Eric Yan completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 30:22, an overall pace of 9:47 per mile. Yan's opening two miles were even and brisk, both covering in 8:57, before the third mile slowed to 11:06, pulling his overall pace back to 9:39 per mile by the finish. That first mile stands as his fastest stretch of the race, a strong pace to build from. With Boulder sitting at over 5,000 feet of elevation, a runner might consider working on maintaining that early rhythm through the closing mile in future races on this course.
