Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Steph Davies #3307 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Negative Split and Fast Finish Over 5K Steph ran 5.00 km in 36:37, averaging 7:19/km. She finished 321st in the female 3135 division, 1537th among women, and 3478th overall out of 5624. Her pacing improved steadily across the race: 7:49, 7:22, 7:29, 7:18, and 6:41 per km. The key stat is the closing speed. Her final kilometre was 1:08 faster than her first, and she improved her overall average pace at every checkpoint from 7:49/km after 1 km to 7:19/km at the finish. She also moved up 243 overall places from 1 km to the finish, including 141 places among women. That finishing strength suited this fast evening 5K well; next time, opening a little closer to her mid-race pace could unlock a quicker overall time.
