Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Hazza Ali #40151 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Hazza Ali completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 31:26, an average pace of 10:08 per mile. His race built through a clear middle surge: after an opening mile of 10:27, he dropped to 8:36 for mile two, his fastest mile of the day, before easing to 11:22 to close things out. That second mile was the highlight of his race, a strong push that briefly moved him well up the field before the final stretch settled his overall time. The 5K field set off from downtown Boulder at 7:45 AM, adding a brisk-morning element to a course that sits above 5,000 feet of elevation. Given the early pace and late fade, Ali might consider a slightly more even split next time, holding back a touch in mile two to preserve energy for the finish.
