Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Leshane Billy #42011 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

A Strong Middle Mile Powers a Solid 5K Finish Leshane Billy completed the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 29:20, an average pace of 9:27 per mile. Billy opened with a 9:22 first mile, then surged to 8:03 for the secondhis fastest mile of the racebefore easing to a 10:48 close. That middle-mile push reflects a runner who found his rhythm once warmed up, even if the final stretch cost back some of that gained time. Racing at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet adds context to that effort, particularly the strong second-mile split. With no prior Boulderthon results on record for comparison, this outing stands as a clean baselineone built on a smart start and a genuine gear change at the halfway point, worth revisiting as a pacing model for future races.
