Strong Finish Anchors a Fast 5K Edward Hooton finished the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 21:21, an overall pace of 6:53 per mile, placing 101st overall and 76th among men in a field of 2,677. Hooton's race unfolded in three distinct phases: an opening mile of 7:02, a sharp surge to 5:58 for mile two, and a settling third mile of 7:37 to the line. That middle mile stands out as his fastest stretch of the race, showing a strong mid-race gear shift. Every distance at Boulderthon finishes on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, a fitting close to a race run at over 5,000 feet of elevation.
