Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Christopher Riding #1826 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Even pacing and a strong middle-to-late recovery Christopher completed the 5K in 26:34, averaging 5:18/km across the full 5.00 km. He opened quickest with a 5:05 first kilometre, then settled into 5:28 and 5:31 through 2 km and 3 km. His best competitive stretch came next: kilometre 4 improved to 5:14, and he held close to that with 5:19 for the final kilometre. That rebound after 3 km stands out and suggests good composure once the pace dipped. He finished 1,644th of 5,624 overall, placing in the top 30% of the field, and 196th in the Male 3135 division. For a faster overall time next outing, the clearest target is smoothing the gap between the opening kilometre and kilometres 23 while keeping that solid late-race response.
