Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Tim Whitehead #40582 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Start Fades Late in the Final Mile Tim Whitehead crossed the 5K finish in 30:23, built on a strong opening mile of 8:36 that had him well positioned early. His pace held steady through two miles, sitting at 8:45 cumulative, before the third mile slowed to 11:50, pulling his overall pace to 9:48 min/mile by the finish. Racing at over 5,000 feet of elevation, Whitehead's first two miles stand out as the highlight of his day, showing a capable early pace before the late fade. A focus on sustaining that opening rhythm through the closing mile could help him carry that early strength all the way to the line in future races.
