Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Cheyann Pauler #41761 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Middle Mile Powers a Steady 5K Finish Cheyann Pauler completed the 5K at the 2026 Boulderthon in 29:24, an overall pace of 9:29 per mile. Her race built momentum through the second mile, clocked at 8:12 the fastest mile of her race after an opening mile of 9:49, before easing to 10:20 over the closing stretch. That mid-race surge came at Boulder's altitude of over 5,000 feet, a notable backdrop for the pace shift. With the 5K field starting at 7:45 AM in downtown Boulder, Pauler's pacing shows a runner capable of finding a strong gear once settled in; sustaining that second-mile rhythm through the finish could be a good focus for her next race.
