Date: Sept. 27, 2026 Participant: Jose Prado #42322 Race: 2026 Boulderthon 5K Distance: 3.1 miles

Strong Start Fades Late in the Final Mile Jose Prado finished the 5K in 32:30, covering the 3.1-mile course out of a field of 2,677 in Boulder, a city that sits at over 5,000 feet of elevation. Prado's race built momentum early, dropping from 9:51 in the opening mile to 9:24 in the second his fastest mile of the day before the pace eased to 12:19 over the closing stretch. That second-mile surge stands as the clear highlight of his run, showing strong mid-race form. With the front half well executed, working on sustaining that mile-two rhythm into the finish could be a useful focus for future 5Ks.
