Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Deniz Demirag #3168 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong finish lifts overall 5K pace Deniz completed the 5K in 32:35, averaging 6:31/km. She placed 2953rd of 5624, putting her in the top 53% overall, and 1171st female. In her female 2630 division, she finished 364th. Through 4km she was on 26:32 at 6:38/km average, then closed the final kilometre in 6:04, her quickest split by 24 seconds per km. Her pacing was steady across the opening 4km: 6:28, 6:37, 6:41, and 6:48/km, before the strong late push. That finish suggests good reserve and a well-timed effort. For the next 5K, aim to hold the mid-race kilometres a little closer to the opening pace; matching that final-kilometre intent earlier could bring the overall average down further. Run The Wharfs closed-road evening format suited a fast closing kilometre here.
