Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Julieanne Cuevas completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 32:35, an average pace of 10:30 per mile. She opened with a 10:24 first mile, then surged to her fastest mile of the race, covering mile two in 9:12, before easing to an 11:54 final mile as she approached the finish. That second mile stood out as the strongest stretch of her race, a solid pickup in the middle of the course. Cuevas, 28, of Orlando, FL, took on a course that finishes on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a city sitting above 5,000 feet in elevationa notable backdrop for any runner's effort. Her pacing pattern, a quick start, a strong middle surge, and a controlled close, reflects a smart, measured approach to the distance.
