Date: Sept. 3, 2026 Participant: Bhavita Patel #3501 Race: 2026 Run The Wharf 5K

Strong negative split and fastest closing kilometre Bhavita ran 5.00 km in 32:09, averaging 6:25/km. She finished 71st in the Female 4145 category, 1117th female, and 2871st of 5624 overall. A notable stat: she improved her average pace at every kilometre marker, moving from 6:40/km through 2 km to 6:32/km through 4 km, then 6:25/km by the finish. Her kilometre splits show excellent progression: 6:40, 6:41, 6:34, 6:16, and 6:00. That final kilometre was 40 seconds quicker than her first, and she gained places steadily through 4 km, reaching 70th in her age group before finishing 71st. For future 5Ks, aiming to bring the 6:166:00/km rhythm slightly earlier could help lower her overall time further on a fast evening course like Run The Wharf.
