Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Alec Mcmillan #42340 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Drives Top-Tier 5K Finish Alec Mcmillan crossed the line in 23:21, placing 157th overall and 121st among men out of a field of 2,677 a top-10% finish. His race built momentum through the middle before tightening late, a pattern that speaks to a well-managed pace over a short distance. The opening mile came in at 7:12, followed by a sharp surge to 6:37 for mile two his fastest mile of the race. The final mile eased to 8:39 as he carried through to the finish. Running at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, Mcmillan's negative-then-steady effort through the middle mile stands out as the highlight of his race, and a touch more evenness across the first and last miles could sharpen the overall pacing next time out.
