Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Andrea Diaz #40218 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Andrea Diaz completed the 5K in 31:53, an overall pace of 10:17 per mile. Her race unfolded unevenly: an opening mile of 10:12, a strong surge to 8:47 for mile two, then a settling pace of 11:50 to close things out. That second mile stood out as her fastest stretch of the day, showing a solid gear shift mid-race before finishing on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder. Racing at more than 5,000 feet of elevation, Diaz's ability to hit that sub-9:00 mile amid Boulder's altitude speaks well of her fitness. With a more even pacing approach across the final mile, there's room to build on that strong middle-mile burst in future races.
