Consistent Effort with Notable Division Placement Paxton Walsh, a 12-year-old from Niwot, CO, competed in the 2025 Boulderthon 5K, finishing with a total elapsed time of 43:40 and an average pace of 14:05 min/mile. Paxton ranked 1217th overall out of 1972 participants and 515th in the male category. His performance placed him 39th in the M14 & Under division. The first mile was covered in 12:26, showing a relatively fast start, while the subsequent miles were run at a slower pace of around 15:00 min/mile.

With refined pacing strategy, future races could result in improved overall and division placements. Keep training and aiming to maintain the pace strategy set in the first mile throughout the entire race.
