Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Carolina Cassedy #558 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Fast finish lifts a steady 5K Carolina covered 5.00 km in 22:55, averaging 4:35/km. She finished 153rd female out of a field of 5,624 overall participants, with a strong closing kilometre that moved her from 803rd overall at 4 km to 792nd at the finish. In her age group, she placed 50th. Her kilometre splits were 4:22, 4:40, 4:48, 4:40, and 4:26. That gave her the fastest opening and second-fastest closing kilometre, with the final 1 km 22 seconds quicker than km 3. That late rebound is a good sign of control and finishing strength. As a coaching note, aiming to hold km 2 and km 4 closer to the pace of the final kilometre could make the overall effort even more efficient on a fast evening 5K like Run The Wharf.
