Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Abigail Vanluling #40476 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers Solid 5K Finish Abigail Vanluling ran the 2026 Boulderthon 5K in 28:29, an average pace of 9:11 per mile. Her race built around a strong second mile, covered in 8:01 after an opening 9:28, before easing to 10:00 over the closing stretch. That middle mile stood out as her fastest of the race, showing a clear surge once she settled in. Racing at altitude in Boulder, sitting above 5,000 feet, adds a layer of context to that effort. With the finish coming on the Pearl Street Mall in downtown Boulder, Vanluling capped the race in the heart of the city that National Geographic once named the Happiest City in America.
