Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Richard Bullock Jr. #40867 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Steady Start Fades Late in the 5K Richard Bullock Jr. finished the 5K in 37:00, an 11:56 min/mile pace, at 2026 Boulderthon. His race went out strong, with the first mile his fastest at 10:59, before easing to 11:38 in the second mile and 13:23 over the closing stretch. That opening mile stands as the highlight of his effort, showing his best sustained pace of the day. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds its own demand to any distance, and Richard's early pace reflected a solid push before the elevation and effort combined to slow his final mile. Going forward, working on maintaining that opening-mile rhythm through the back half could help even out his overall pace across the 5K distance.
