Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Kyle Johansen #40375 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Start Fuels Top-10% Finish Kyle Johansen crossed the line in 24:02, good for 200th overall and 149th among men in a field of 2,677 at the 2026 Boulderthon 5K. That result placed him in the top 10% of the field. Johansen's race shape showed an aggressive middle push: after opening in 7:58 for the first mile, he surged to a 6:47 second milehis fastest stretch of the daybefore easing to 8:24 over the closing mile. That early commitment to pace built a cushion that carried him through the finish. Given Boulder's elevation above 5,000 feet, the sub-25-minute effort reflects strong execution. A slightly more even split between miles two and three could help him sustain that mid-race speed even longer next time.
