Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Ashraf Mandour #2135 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong Middle Kilometres and a Fast 4th km Ashraf covered 5.00 km in 26:13, averaging 5:14/km. He placed 137th in the Male 3640 category and finished ahead of a large part of the 5,624-runner field. His pacing was steady across the opening 3 km: 5:19, 5:23, and 5:18/km, before his quickest kilometre at 5:00/km. That 4th km was the key move, lifting him from 165th to 132nd in his age group by 3 km and holding that position through 4 km. The final kilometre eased to 5:14/km, but he still closed with a solid overall average. From a coaching view, the standout is clear speed late in the race; the next step is to bring a little more of that 4th-km rhythm into the final kilometre.
