Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Amit Gupta #4455 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Quick Opening, Then Pace Drift Across the Final 3 km Amit completed the 5K in 33:22, averaging 6:40/km for the full distance. His fastest kilometre was the first in 6:10, and he reached 2 km in 12:42 at 6:21/km. He was inside the top half overall at that point, sitting 2,729th of 5,624, before finishing 3,071st overall and 305th in the male 3135 division. The key trend was pace fade after 2 km: 6:55, 7:02, then 6:44 for the final 3 km. That late pickup in the last kilometre was a positive sign and suggests he still had some response left after the slowest section. For the next 5K, aiming for a more even first 2 km could help him hold pace deeper into the race. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening format suited a strong opening, and he gave himself a solid platform early.
